Hougen 11113 Annular Cutter 29/64 in Hss Bright

Product Description

The HOUGEN 11113 is a high speed steel annular cutter designed for cutting clean, accurate holes in a range of workpiece materials. With a cutter diameter of 0.4531 inches (29/64 inches) and a cutting depth of 1/4 inch, this cutter removes only the material at the hole perimeter rather than reducing the full plug to chips. The result is faster cutting, lower power demand, and a precise hole with minimal burring. The M2 high speed steel construction and bright uncoated finish make this cutter well suited to general-purpose hole cutting across light fabrication and maintenance applications. It is installed and used by machinists, ironworkers, and maintenance mechanics who require consistent hole geometry without a drill press.

The HOUGEN 11113 is intended for use in portable magnetic drill presses and bench-mounted annular cutter units. It is applicable to mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, and similar materials encountered in structural fabrication, sheet metal work, and light manufacturing. The small diameter and shallow depth of cut make this cutter a practical choice for thin-stock applications where a standard twist drill would produce excessive burring or require pilot holes. It ships as a single unit and is a direct fit for standard annular cutter holders accepting the appropriate shank.

• Compatible with aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and plastic workpieces
• Single-unit packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed for use with portable magnetic drills and stationary annular cutter holders that accept the standard shank for this cutter diameter. Compatible workpiece materials include aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and plastic.

Installation Notes

Annular cutters are installed and operated by qualified machinists or maintenance mechanics. Before mounting the cutter, ensure the drill unit is fully powered down and the magnetic base or spindle lock is disengaged. Use the appropriate pilot pin for the cutter diameter and secure the cutter firmly in the arbor to prevent slippage during operation. Always follow the drill manufacturer's recommended RPM range for the cutter diameter and material being cut.
