Unlike twist drills, annular cutters remove only a narrow ring of material, reducing cutting force and heat buildup while producing accurate, burr-minimal holes. This cutter measures 1.4567 inches in diameter with a cutting depth of approximately 1.97 inches (50 mm) and features a 3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank for secure chuck engagement. It is intended for use with magnetic drill presses and compatible drilling units that accept Weldon-style tooling. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose ferrous metal cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HOUGEN 12437 is suited for structural steel fabrication, ironwork, and general metalworking where precise holes in mild steel or steel plate are required. It is commonly used in field and shop environments by ironworkers, pipefitters, millwrights, and metal fabricators. The 2-flat Weldon shank provides positive rotational drive and prevents slippage under the cutting loads typical of annular cutter operations. This cutter is packaged as a single unit and is appropriate for professional trade use on standard magnetic drill press setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.4567-inch cutter diameter for precise full-diameter hole cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 mm (approximately 1.97 inches) cutting depth capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in ferrous metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank with 2 flats for positive drive and anti-slip engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid on mild steel and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic drill presses and drilling units that accept a 3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank annular cutter.

Ensure the drill unit is securely seated and the magnetic base is fully engaged on a clean, flat ferrous surface before cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid to extend cutter life and reduce heat. Inspect the Weldon shank and set screws for secure fit before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4567 inches (37.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50.00 mm (approximately 1.97 inches)\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\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 12437\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717440307506,"sku":"12437","price":157.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6f368e4f82bdf7a74868e6a94ac7a9f7_6df700e1-0eeb-45a4-ae6f-28bf9e72c7f6.jpg?v=1788540518","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12437-annular-cutter-1-4567-in-hss-weldon-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
