Compact cordless sheet metal cutting for fabrication and HVAC work
The Milwaukee M12FNB16-0X is a cordless nibbler designed for controlled cutting of sheet metal in fabrication, roofing and HVAC installation tasks. Built on the M12 FUEL platform, it integrates a POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLINK PLUS electronics and REDLITHIUM battery compatibility to deliver stable cutting performance in compact form.
The tool provides a maximum cutting capacity of 1.6 mm in mild steel, 0.7 mm in high-strength steel and up to 2.1 mm in aluminium. A five-step variable speed dial allows the operator to match stroke rate to the material being cut, improving control when working with stainless steel or thin sheet sections. The cutting direction can be adjusted in 90° increments without tools, enabling precise navigation around profiles and tight corners.
