Durable Milwaukee Single Strut Shearing Dies for 7/8 x 1-5/8 Inch
Milwaukee 7/8 in. x 1-5/8 in. Single Strut Shearing Dies – 49-16-0078
Product Overview
The Milwaukee 7/8 in. x 1-5/8 in. Single Strut Shearing Dies (49-16-0078) are replacement die components designed specifically for the M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ Single Channel Strut Shear. This two-piece die set is made for producing accurate, consistent shears on compatible single-channel strut, helping electricians and contractors prepare strut directly at the jobsite.
The dies feature two sharpened cutting edges, allowing the die set to deliver up to 10,000 shears according to Milwaukee. Their enclosed cutting design eliminates exposed blades, while laser-etched markings make it easier to identify the correct die and install it in the strut shear. Milwaukee specifies this die set for up to 12-gauge 1-5/8 in. x 1-5/8 in. strut and states that it is not for stainless steel strut.

Designed for the M18 FORCE LOGIC Single Channel Strut Shear
The 49-16-0078 dies are made specifically for Milwaukee's M18 FORCE LOGIC Single Channel Strut Shear. They are not general-purpose cutting dies and should not be assumed to fit other strut shearing tools.
The compatible M18 strut shear uses interchangeable dies to accommodate different strut sizes. Milwaukee lists the 7/8 in. x 1-5/8 in. set as one of its dedicated accessory options alongside other single and combination die configurations.
Two Sharpened Cutting Edges
Each die incorporates two sharpened edges. Milwaukee rates the 49-16-0078 set for up to 10,000 shears per die set, helping reduce the frequency of die replacement during regular professional use.
Actual service life can vary depending on the type and thickness of strut, cutting conditions, frequency of use, and proper tool operation.
No Exposed Blades
The dies use an enclosed cutting configuration with no exposed blades. This design is part of the M18 FORCE LOGIC Single Channel Strut Shear system and helps keep the cutting edges contained within the tool during operation.
Milwaukee's overall strut-shear design is intended to provide clean, installation-ready cuts without requiring additional filing or deburring under appropriate operating conditions.
Tool-Free Die Changes
The 49-16-0078 set is designed for tool-free die changes, allowing users to switch between compatible strut sizes without relying on additional tools for the die-change procedure.
This is useful for contractors who need to adjust the strut shear for different applications while working at the installation site.
Laser-Etched Size Markings
The dies feature laser-etched markings that identify their size and assist with installation. The clearly marked components make it easier to select the appropriate die when multiple strut die sets are being carried on a jobsite.
This is particularly useful for contractors using several die configurations with the same M18 FORCE LOGIC Single Channel Strut Shear.
Strut Size and Material Compatibility
The 49-16-0078 is intended for 7/8 in. x 1-5/8 in. single strut applications. Milwaukee specifies the strut shear die family for material up to 12 gauge, with the 7/8 in. die specifically corresponding to 7/8 in. x 1-5/8 in. strut.
Important: Milwaukee explicitly states that these dies are not for use with stainless steel strut. Always verify the strut dimensions, gauge, and material before cutting.
