Hougen 11222 Annular Cutter 0.8661 in Hss Bright

Product Description

The HOUGEN 11222 is a high speed steel (HSS) annular cutter designed for use in magnetic base drills, drill presses, and portable drilling equipment. With a cutter diameter of 0.8661 inches (22 millimeters) and a 1/2 inch depth of cut, this cutter removes only the material at the perimeter of the hole, producing clean, burr-free holes faster and with less power than a standard twist drill. The bright, uncoated finish is suited for general-purpose metal cutting applications. The 1/2 inch shank diameter provides a secure fit in compatible arbors and tool holders.

This annular cutter is used in structural steel fabrication, ironwork, mechanical and electrical construction, and maintenance applications where accurate, full-diameter holes are required in metal plate or structural members. It is appropriate for use by ironworkers, millwrights, electricians, and pipefitters working on ferrous metal substrates including mild steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel. The cutter is sold individually and is suitable for both shop and field use.

Installation Notes

Annular cutters of this type are installed by licensed trades and qualified metalworkers using compatible magnetic drill bases or drill press arbors. Before mounting, ensure the drill unit is powered down and the magnetic base is disengaged. Use the appropriate arbor with a pilot pin and apply cutting fluid to the cutter tip during operation to extend tool life and maintain cut quality. Follow applicable worksite safety standards when operating magnetic base drilling equipment on elevated or vertical surfaces.
