Product Description

The HOUGEN 12002 is an 8-piece high speed steel annular cutter set designed for fast, clean through-hole cutting in steel and similar metals. The set covers cutter diameters from 9/16 inches to 1-1/16 inches and delivers a cutting depth of 2 inches per pass. Each cutter features a bright polished finish and a 3/4-inch shank diameter with two flats for positive drive engagement. This set is used by electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and millwrights who need a range of hole sizes without changing tools or setups.

Annular cutter sets like the HOUGEN 12002 are suited for structural steel fabrication, equipment installation, and on-site metalwork where multiple hole sizes are required in a single job. The five included cutters span five common fractional sizes, making this set a practical solution for panel knockouts, conduit penetrations, pipe hanger installations, and similar trade applications. The bright finish helps operators visually confirm cutter condition during use.

Installation Notes

Annular cutters should be installed and removed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with magnetic drill operation. Always secure the magnetic drill base fully to the workpiece before powering on, and verify the pilot pin is properly seated before starting a cut. Use cutting fluid or oil to extend cutter life and reduce heat buildup. Disconnect power before changing cutters or adjusting the pilot pin.
