Milwaukee 49-16-B078 0.5″ – 0.7″ Adjustable Bushing for M18 FUEL Covered Conductor Cable Stripper

Purpose-built for the Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Covered Conductor Cable Stripper, the 49-16-B078 adjustable bushing handles 0.5″–0.7″ OD covered conductors used on aerial, 600V secondary, and medium-voltage work. It installs in seconds with a quick-connect interface, letting crews match bushing size to the cable on site without extra tools. The aluminum body is laser-etched with its OD range for easy selection, and color coding aligns with Milwaukee’s material matrix so techs can confirm sizing at a glance. A free-floating plate helps finish strips cleanly when the depth gauge is removed, and the bushing accepts Milwaukee’s replaceable cutting blade (sold separately) to keep performance consistent over time.

For utilities, line contractors, and industrial electricians running bucket, vault, or substation work, this M18 FUEL stripper accessory supports fast, repeatable results while reducing setup steps. Keep it staged with other Milwaukee adjustable bushings to cover the broader 0.5″–2.1″ family range and move from one conductor size to the next with minimal interruption.
