Hougen 11128 Annular Cutter 11/16 in Hss

Product Description

The HOUGEN 11128 is a high speed steel annular cutter designed for cutting clean, precise holes in metal workpieces. With a cutter diameter of 11/16 inches (0.6875 inches decimal) and a cutting depth of 1/4 inch, this cutter is suited for light-depth hole work in fabrication and maintenance applications. The 3/8 inch shank connects directly to compatible magnetic drills and drill presses. Manufactured from M2 grade high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, the 11128 delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of ferrous metals. This tool is typically installed by machinists, ironworkers, pipefitters, and general fabricators.

The HOUGEN 11128 annular cutter is intended for use on ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel. Its compact 1/4 inch cutting depth makes it well suited for thinner stock and sheet metal applications where a shallow, clean-entry hole is required. The 3/8 inch shank diameter is a common connection size found on benchtop and portable magnetic drill units used across structural steel, HVAC ductwork fabrication, and general metalworking shops.

Installation Notes

Annular cutters of this type are installed by machinists, fabricators, and ironworkers using magnetic drill units or drill presses with a compatible 3/8 inch chuck or arbor. Secure the workpiece fully before engaging the cutter, and use cutting oil or coolant appropriate for the base material to extend cutter life. Verify the drill unit is powered down and locked out before changing or seating the cutter. Follow applicable OSHA and shop-safety protocols for rotating cutting tools.
