Built from M2 grade HSS and coated with titanium nitride (TiN) for extended tool life, this cutter produces 7\/16 inch diameter holes up to 1 inch deep. The 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with two flats locks securely into compatible magnetic drill press chucks and annular cutter holders. TiN coating reduces friction and heat buildup, which extends edge life compared to uncoated HSS tooling. This cutter is sized for production and maintenance applications where core ejection and minimal material waste are priorities over conventional twist drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HOUGEN 12614 is suited for use on mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel fabrication and structural work. It performs in magnetic drill press applications on flat and curved steel surfaces, making it a practical choice for ironworkers, steel fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance machinists who need repeatable, burr-minimized holes without pilot drilling. The 1 inch depth of cut accommodates standard structural steel sections and plate stock commonly encountered in field and shop fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/16 inch cutter diameter with 1 inch depth of cut for through-holes in structural and plate steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for durability under continuous cutting loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating extends tool life and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with two flats for positive chuck engagement and no slippage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use on mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnular cutting geometry removes only a core, reducing cutting force and material waste versus twist drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders accepting a 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank.

Ensure the cutter is fully seated and the drive screws are tightened against both Weldon flats before operation. Use cutting oil or a suitable coolant to manage heat and extend cutter life. De-energize and secure all equipment before changing cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches (0.4375 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 inches\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, M2 Grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 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: 12614\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693782630706,"sku":"12614","price":55.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/15b4f91e1a33b22ce145d96caf2424bd.jpg?v=1788317286","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12614-annular-cutter-7-16-in-hss-tin-weldon","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
