Hougen 11220 Annular Cutter 0.7874 in Hss Bright

Product Description

The HOUGEN 11220 is a high speed steel annular cutter designed for fast, clean through-hole cutting in metal fabrication and structural steel applications. With a cutter diameter of 0.7874 inches and a cutting depth of 1/4 inch, this cutter removes only the material at the perimeter of the hole, reducing heat buildup and cutting force compared to twist drills. The tool is manufactured from M2 grade high speed steel and features a bright, uncoated finish. It accepts a 3/8 inch shank and is compatible with magnetic drill presses and annular cutter-ready drill motors. Fabricators, ironworkers, and structural steel contractors are the primary users of this cutter.

This annular cutter is suited for use on mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel. It is commonly deployed on job sites and in fabrication shops where clean, burr-free holes are required without pilot drilling. The 1/4 inch cutting depth makes it appropriate for thinner stock and sheet metal applications. The 3/8 inch shank fits standard magnetic drill arbors and rotary broach-style tool holders configured for that connection size.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed by a metalworker or fabricator into a compatible magnetic drill press or hand-held annular cutter motor. Always secure the workpiece and confirm the magnetic base is fully engaged before beginning the cut. Use cutting oil or coolant to extend tool life and reduce heat, particularly when cutting stainless or hardened steel. Disconnect power to the drill before changing cutters.
