With a cutter diameter of 0.9843 inches and a cutting depth of 25 millimeters (approximately 0.984 inches), this tool removes only a small core of material rather than a full slug, reducing heat buildup and extending tool life. The Weldon flat shank with two flats and a 3\/4-inch shank diameter locks securely into compatible magnetic drill presses and annular cutter chucks. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for high speed steel cutters used in ferrous metal applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for structural steel work, metal fabrication shops, ironworking, and maintenance trades where precise, burr-free holes are required in mild steel plate, tube, or structural sections. It is sized for use with magnetic base drills and drill press setups that accept a 3\/4-inch Weldon shank. Typical applications include connection plate drilling, pipe support fabrication, and general steel layout work performed by ironworkers, pipefitters, millwrights, and metal fabricators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.9843-inch cutter diameter for accurate, full-diameter hole cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in mild and general steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank with 2 flats for positive, non-slip chuck engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — standard HSS configuration for ferrous metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnular cutting geometry removes only the outer core, reducing cutting force and heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production annular cutter compatible with magnetic drill presses and cutter holders that accept a 3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank.

Ensure the magnetic base is fully engaged and the workpiece is clean and flat before energizing the drill. Secure the cutter shank fully into the Weldon chuck and confirm the flat-to-set-screw alignment before operation. Always use the recommended cutting fluid or lubricant for high speed steel cutters to prevent premature edge wear and reduce heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9843 inches (25.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.00 mm\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: 0.23 pounds\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: 12325\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698889949490,"sku":"12325","price":70.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/751502a459646d9ba6629398f9ff7ecb.jpg?v=1788369446","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12325-annular-cutter-0-9843-in-hss-weldon-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
