Milwaukee 2460-20 M12 Rotary Tool – Tool Only
Ditch the power cord without sacrificing cutting power or speed. The Milwaukee® 2460-20 M12™ Cordless Rotary Tool delivers corded-level performance in a compact, maneuverable design engineered for electricians, automotive mechanics, plumbers, and maintenance professionals.
Powered by Milwaukee’s M12™ REDLITHIUM™ battery platform, this high-performance tool features a fluid 6-setting variable-speed dial capable of running from 5,000 to 32,000 RPM. Weighing just 1.3 lbs and measuring 9.5 inches long, it fits effortlessly into tight engine bays, electrical enclosures, and under-sink pipe runs where larger tools cannot reach. With grinder-style exhaust ports that direct airflow away from your eyes and protected front bearings that block out fine abrasive dust, the 2460-20 delivers maximum jobsite durability across thousands of cutting, deburring, carving, and polishing applications.
- Corded Power, Cordless Mobility: High-output 12V motor delivers up to 10% more speed and up to 10X longer tool life than standard cordless rotary competitors.
- Variable-Speed Dial: Seamlessly dial between 5,000 and 32,000 RPM for total control across softwoods, plastics, copper, and hardened steel.
- Universal Collet Compatibility: Ships with a standard 1/8" collet and accepts standard 1/32", 1/16", and 3/32" accessory collets (sold separately).
- Jobsite-Tough Construction: Front-bearing protection shields internal gearing from metal swarf and grinding dust, while grinder-style exhaust vents keep motor components cool.
- Ultra-Compact Profile: Slim, lightweight body allows comfortable one-handed operation and reduces wrist fatigue during intricate detailing work.
- M12 System Compatible: Works with all Milwaukee M12™ REDLITHIUM™ battery packs.
