Hougen 12006 Hss Annular Cutter Set 5/8-1-1/8 in 8 Pc

Product Description

The HOUGEN 12006 is an 8-piece high speed steel annular cutter set covering cutter diameters from 5/8 inch to 1-1/8 inch with a 2-inch cutting depth. The set includes five annular cutters, two pilots, and one hex wrench. Each cutter features a 3/4-inch shank diameter with two flats for positive drive retention in compatible magnetic drill press arbors. The bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation during through-hole cutting operations in steel plate and structural members. This set is intended for installation by ironworkers, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics working with mag drills.

This set is suited for structural steel fabrication, steel erection, and maintenance applications where clean, burr-free through-holes are required in steel plate, angle iron, tube, and beam. The cutter range of 5/8 inch through 1-1/8 inch covers common bolt-hole and conduit-knockout sizes encountered in commercial and industrial fieldwork. All five cutters share a uniform 3/4-inch shank, allowing quick changeover on a single arbor setup without additional adapters.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified fabricators or mechanics using a compatible magnetic drill press. Secure the mag drill base fully to a clean, flat steel surface before beginning any cut. Use the included pilot and appropriate cutting fluid to extend cutter life and maintain hole quality. Inspect shank flats and arbor set screws for wear before each use to prevent cutter slippage.
