It uses a hollow cutting geometry that removes only a thin ring of material, leaving a core plug behind. The cutter measures 0.7087 inches in diameter with a 1\/4-inch depth of cut and a 3\/8-inch shank diameter. It is supplied in a bright, uncoated finish, which is the standard M2 high speed steel surface without any additional coating. Machinists, ironworkers, and fabricators install this cutter in magnetic drill presses and compatible drilling units for hole-making in structural and plate steel applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for drilling in mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel. The 0.7087-inch cutting diameter corresponds to 18 mm, making it a common size for bolt holes and conduit penetrations in fabrication and structural steel work. The 3\/8-inch shank connects to standard annular cutter arbors used with magnetic base drills and drill press adapters found in both shop and field settings. It is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty cutting applications where a full-size depth cutter is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.7087-inch (18 mm) cutting diameter for precise, consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch depth of cut suitable for thinner plate and structural stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for durability across ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish with no additional surface treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch shank diameter fits standard annular cutter arbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic drill presses and drill press arbors that accept a 3\/8-inch shank annular cutter.

Before installation, confirm the arbor pilot pin is properly seated and the cutter is secured in the shank collet. Always use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve cut quality. Secure the workpiece fully before energizing the magnetic base or starting the drill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7087 inches (18 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (M2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Hardened Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HOUGEN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701553332530,"sku":"11218","price":27.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d63be2bf1538063582ccebd85385e60b_8738e11c-0858-4ee0-9c89-7696a52ed532.jpg?v=1788401294","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-11218-annular-cutter-0-7087-in-hss-bright","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
