With a cutter diameter of 1.0236 inches and a cutting depth of 25 millimeters (approximately 1 inch), this tool removes a core plug rather than converting the entire hole area to chips, reducing the force and time required to cut through material. The 3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank with two flats provides secure, non-slip engagement in compatible magnetic drill press chucks. Weighing 0.25 pounds, it is easy to handle on the job site. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose HSS cutters used in fabrication and structural work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis annular cutter is suited for use in structural steel fabrication, ironwork, and general metalworking applications. It is designed to cut mild steel and standard steel stock. Typical installation scenarios include field drilling on steel beams, plates, and angle iron using a magnetic drill press. Electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general fabricators commonly use annular cutters in this diameter range for conduit holes, bolt holes, and structural penetrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.0236 inch cutter diameter for consistent, accurate hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in ferrous metal cutting\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\u003e25 mm cutting depth allows full-thickness cuts on standard structural steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suits general-purpose mild steel and steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.25 pounds for easy handling and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders accepting a 3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank.

Ensure the magnetic drill base is firmly seated and energized before beginning a cut, and always use cutting fluid appropriate for HSS tooling to extend cutter life and improve cut quality. Secure the workpiece to prevent movement during cutting. Inspect the shank seating in the chuck before each use to confirm positive engagement of the Weldon flats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0236 inches (26 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 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: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 12326\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696879730994,"sku":"12326","price":73.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a696b9c582f718dc64a5e29702a23c75.jpg?v=1788347273","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12326-annular-cutter-1-0236-in-hss-weldon-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
