Product Overview
The Milwaukee M12™ 600 MCM Cable Cutter Kit (2472-21XC) is a compact cordless cutting solution designed for electricians, utility crews, datacom professionals, service contractors, and demolition teams. Built around the M12™ platform, the cutter delivers 5,000 lb of force while maintaining a compact form that is easier to position in crowded electrical panels and confined work areas.
Its open-jaw, powered ratcheting design allows the user to position the cutter around the cable before starting the cut. The optimized blade geometry is designed to produce a clean, round, installation-ready cut, while the two-speed gearbox provides high power for large conductors and faster cutting for smaller, more common wire types.
The 2472-21XC kit includes the M12™ 600 MCM Cable Cutter, an M12™ XC REDLITHIUM™ battery, an M12™ charger, and a carrying case.

Powerful Cutting Performance
The M12™ 600 MCM Cable Cutter generates 5,000 lb of force from a compact cordless platform. This gives professionals the cutting capability needed for large-diameter electrical conductors without relying on a bulky manual cutter or long-handled tool.
Milwaukee rates the tool for cutting 600 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum, making it suitable for many electrical installation, service, and maintenance applications. The tool is also specified for communication cable up to 1-3/16 inches.
Open-Jaw Design for Tight Spaces
The open-jaw configuration allows the cutter to be placed around the cable rather than requiring the cable to be threaded through a closed cutting head. This is particularly useful when working inside crowded panels or around installed conductors.
The compact scissor-style jaws are designed to make cuts without requiring the user to loop cable through the tool or operate long manual handles.
Powered Ratcheting Mechanism
The powered ratcheting mechanism advances the cutting blade through the cable with controlled mechanical force. This design helps the tool maintain its cutting capability even when working around large conductors in confined electrical spaces.
An auto-release lever allows the jaws to open after the cut, helping the user remove the tool and prepare for the next cable quickly.
Two-Speed Gearbox
The two-speed gearbox is designed to balance cutting power and operating speed.
Low-speed operation: Provides the power needed for larger-diameter cables.
High-speed operation: Allows faster cutting through smaller and more common wire types.
This makes the tool practical for crews that encounter a range of cable sizes during a single installation or service job.
Clean, Installation-Ready Cuts
The cutter uses optimized blade geometry designed to produce a round, clean cut rather than a heavily flattened cable end. This can make the resulting cable easier to prepare for subsequent installation work.
The replacement 48-44-0410 M12™ 600 MCM Cable Cutter Blade is available separately for maintaining the cutting system when the original blade requires replacement.
Built-In LED Work Light
A built-in LED light illuminates the cutting area, helping improve visibility when working inside electrical panels, equipment enclosures, utility spaces, or other areas with limited ambient lighting.
M12™ Cordless Power
The cutter operates on Milwaukee's M12™ REDLITHIUM™ battery platform, providing cordless operation without a power cord or manual cutting mechanism.
According to Milwaukee, the tool can make up to 150 cuts of 500 MCM copper per charge, depending on operating conditions and battery performance.

Easier Access Around Installed Cable
The open-jaw design allows the cutter to be positioned around existing cable, which can be advantageous in crowded panels and service environments.
Faster Repetitive Cutting
Powered ratcheting and the auto-release mechanism reduce the physical effort and repetitive motions associated with conventional manual cable cutters.
Versatile Cable Capacity
The cutter handles up to 600 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum, while also accommodating smaller wire types and communication cable.
Cordless Convenience
The M12™ battery platform eliminates the need for a power cord and provides portability between panels, equipment rooms, job sites, and service locations.
Important Usage Considerations
Verify the conductor material and cable size before cutting.
Use the cutter only for cable types and sizes within its specified capacity.
Inspect the cutting blade and tool before use.
Keep hands and other objects away from the jaws and cutting area during operation.
Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and applicable electrical safety procedures.
De-energize electrical circuits and follow appropriate lockout/tagout procedures before cutting installed conductors where applicable.
