Hougen 11152 Annular Cutter 1-1/16 in Hss Uncoated

Product Description

The HOUGEN 11152 is a high speed steel annular cutter designed for magnetic drill presses and rotary broaching applications. It produces clean, full-diameter holes through metal plate without the material waste of a twist drill. Built from M2 high speed steel in a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent cutting performance on mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel. The 1-1/16 inch cutting diameter and 1/2 inch depth of cut make it a practical choice for structural fabrication, ironwork, and mechanical assembly tasks where precise hole sizing is required.

This annular cutter is sized for use in magnetic base drills, drill press setups, and portable broaching tools that accept a 1/2 inch shank. It is suited for both shop and field applications including steel fabrication, structural steel erection, and equipment maintenance work. Operators working with mild steel framing, stainless steel plate, or hardened steel components will find the M2 steel construction holds an edge through repeated cuts in production environments.

Key Features

• 1-1/16 inch cutting diameter for precise, clean through-holes in metal
• 1/2 inch depth of cut suitable for standard plate and structural stock thicknesses
• M2 high speed steel construction retains cutting edge on mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel
• Bright, uncoated finish allows visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• 1/2 inch shank diameter fits standard magnetic drill and drill press chucks

Compatibility

Compatible with magnetic drill presses and drill press setups that accept a 1/2 inch shank annular cutter. Rated for use on mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel material applications.

Installation Notes

Annular cutters of this type are installed by metalworkers and fabricators using magnetic base drills or drill press equipment. Secure the workpiece and confirm the magnetic base or press is fully engaged before beginning a cut. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend cutter life and manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting teeth for wear or damage before each use and replace the cutter when edge condition degrades.
