With a 1-3\/4 inch cutting diameter and 1 inch depth of cut, this cutter removes only a core of material rather than reducing the entire hole area to chips, making it significantly more efficient than twist drills in the same size range. The Weldon flat shank with two flats provides a secure, non-slip connection in compatible magnetic drill press chucks and arbors. At 0.45 pounds, it is a compact, easy-to-handle tool suited for fabrication shops, structural steel work, and field ironwork installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is intended for use in magnetic base drill presses and annular cutter-compatible drill press setups on mild steel and structural steel applications. It is a standard choice for tradespeople working in steel fabrication, mechanical contracting, and ironworking where precise, clean-edged holes are required in plate steel, tube steel, or structural members. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for general-purpose steel cutting operations without the need for specialty coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-3\/4 inch cutting diameter for larger-bore hole applications in steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch depth of cut accommodates standard plate and structural stock thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides good wear resistance for steel cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeldon flat shank with 2 flats ensures positive drive and prevents slippage in chuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch shank diameter fits standard magnetic drill press arbors and chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose mild steel and steel stock applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic base drill presses and annular cutter arbors accepting a 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank.

Ensure the magnetic base is securely seated and energized on a clean, flat steel surface before operation. Use cutting fluid or cutting oil appropriate for high speed steel tooling to extend cutter life and improve cut quality. Inspect the Weldon flat set screws for proper engagement before each use to prevent chuck slippage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/4 inches (1.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\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, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: 12156\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717435425074,"sku":"12156","price":141.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c4868fbf34af2465055f2510221c8fe7.jpg?v=1788540437","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12156-annular-cutter-1-3-4-in-hss-weldon-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
