It features a 9\/16 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch depth of cut, making it well suited for through-hole applications in plate and structural stock. The cutter is manufactured from M2 grade high speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating that reduces friction and extends cutting life. A 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with two flats ensures positive engagement in compatible mag-drill chucks. Metalworkers, ironworkers, and fabricators are the primary installers of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis annular cutter is used in magnetic drill press applications on mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel stock. It is suited for both shop fabrication and on-site structural work where a mag drill is the tool of choice. The Weldon flat shank configuration is a standard interface across most magnetic drill platforms. The TiN coating provides additional heat resistance during prolonged cuts in harder steel grades, helping maintain edge life between sharpenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9\/16 inch cutting diameter for standard bolt-clearance and through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch depth of cut accommodates common plate and structural steel thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 grade high speed steel construction for durability in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces cutting friction and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with 2 flats for secure, positive chuck engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders accepting a 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank.

Secure the Weldon flat shank fully into the chuck and tighten the set screw against the flat before operating. Always use cutting oil or an appropriate cutting fluid to manage heat and extend cutter life. Inspect the cutting edge before each use and replace or resharpen if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\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\u003eCutter Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2 High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\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\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: 12618\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691668341042,"sku":"12618","price":62.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f95c0574ebe8bacb535571038d5c83e5.jpg?v=1788288232","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12618-annular-cutter-9-16-in-hss-tin-coated","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
