Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1-14 Inch Rebar Cutter

Description

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL rebar cutter is designed for reinforcing ironworkers, construction crews, and metalworking professionals who need fast, controlled cuts through reinforcing steel. Model 3675-20 handles rebar up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter, giving professionals a cordless option for demanding jobsite applications. Its brushless motor and purpose-built cutting blade support efficient operation when preparing reinforcement for concrete work, structural projects, and other metalworking tasks.

Powerful Cordless Cutting Performance

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL rebar cutter uses a POWERSTATE brushless motor that operates at 2,000 RPM. Milwaukee reports cutting #5 rebar in approximately two seconds under its stated test conditions. This performance can help reduce waiting time when preparing multiple pieces of reinforcement during repetitive construction work.

Unlike abrasive cutting wheels, the dedicated rebar cutting blade produces cold cuts with fewer sparks, according to Milwaukee. This can be helpful on jobsites where controlling sparks matters, although operators must still follow site safety procedures and assess surrounding materials before cutting. The tool is compatible with Milwaukee’s M18 battery platform, allowing users to work without a cord or external power supply.

Designed for Control and Operator Comfort

The 3675-20 includes an adjustable three-position anti-vibration side handle. This design allows operators to select a comfortable grip position for different cutting angles and work conditions. The paddle switch supports operation from various positions, while the integrated LED work light helps illuminate the cutting area in dim environments.

Milwaukee also incorporates a RAPIDSTOP brake, which stops the compatible cutting blade in under one second according to the manufacturer. The Cut-Brake feature can automatically stop the blade when enabled, helping reduce the risk of damage to sensitive materials near the cut. Overload protection and REDLINK PLUS intelligence help manage tool performance and protect compatible battery and motor systems.

Cutting Capacity and Battery Performance

This rebar cutter can handle reinforcing bar up to #10 size, or 1-1/4 inches, when used with Milwaukee’s specified cutting blade. The tool requires the dedicated Milwaukee #10 rebar cutting blade, part number 48-40-4064. Do not assume that ordinary abrasive wheels or other cutting blades are compatible.

When paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 battery, Milwaukee reports up to 240 cuts in #5 rebar per charge. Actual output depends on bar size, material, battery condition, and working conditions. The battery is sold separately with model 3675-20, so review the listing contents if you need a complete operating setup.

For verified specifications and safe operation, visit Milwaukee’s official 3675-20 product page, read the manufacturer’s rebar cutter announcement, and consult the operator information and manual resources.

Suitable Applications and Safe Operation

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL rebar cutter suits reinforcing ironworkers, general contractors, concrete crews, and professionals who regularly prepare reinforcing steel. Its cordless format can simplify movement around active jobsites, while its dedicated blade supports clean cuts on compatible metal stock. Always secure the workpiece and check the material size before starting.

Wear appropriate eye and hearing protection, keep hands away from the blade, and inspect the tool and cutting blade before each use. Follow the operator’s manual for blade changes, battery handling, and maintenance. Keep bystanders clear of the cutting area, even when the tool produces fewer sparks than an abrasive wheel.
