Hougen 11167 Annular Cutter 1-7/16 in Hss

Product Description

The HOUGEN 11167 is a high speed steel annular cutter designed for cutting precise, clean holes in metal without a pilot hole. The cutter produces a full-diameter slug rather than drilling through solid material, which reduces heat buildup, extends tool life, and lowers the power required at the magnetic drill press. Sized at 1-7/16 inches in diameter with a 1/2-inch depth of cut, this cutter handles light fabrication work and structural steel applications. The bright uncoated finish and M2 high speed steel grade keep the cutter serviceable through repeated use on ferrous materials.

This annular cutter is suited for use on mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel stock. It connects via a 1/2-inch shank, the standard diameter for most magnetic drill presses and drill press adapters used in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, and ironworking. Fabricators, ironworkers, and maintenance machinists commonly use this cutter for adding holes to structural members, plates, and tube steel without distorting the surrounding material.

Key Features

• 1-7/16 inches cutter diameter for accurate, consistent hole sizing
• 1/2-inch depth of cut accommodates standard plate and light structural stock
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across ferrous material types
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard magnetic drill press chucks and adapters
• Annular cutting geometry removes a slug rather than solid chips, reducing heat and power draw

Compatibility

Designed for use on mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel. Fits magnetic drill presses and drill press adapters with a 1/2-inch shank connection.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators familiar with magnetic drill press operation. Secure the magnetic drill base firmly to the workpiece before engaging the cutter and verify the workpiece surface is clean and flat for full magnetic contact. Use cutting oil or a suitable metalworking lubricant during cutting to manage heat at the cutter tip. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or chipping before each use and replace the cutter when edge condition degrades to avoid workpiece damage or tool breakage.
