With a 1-1\/2 inch cutting diameter and 1 inch depth of cut, it removes only a slug of material rather than a full core, reducing the power needed and extending tool life. The cutter is made from M2 grade high speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating that reduces friction and heat buildup during cutting. The 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with two flats provides a secure, positive lock in compatible magnetic drill press chucks. It is a standard choice for structural steel fabrication, ironworking, and maintenance trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis annular cutter is suited for drilling through mild steel, stainless steel, and general structural steel in fabrication shops, job sites, and industrial maintenance environments. The 1-1\/2 inch diameter makes it a common size for bolt holes, pipe penetrations, and structural connections. It is installed and used by ironworkers, steel fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics working with magnetic drill presses or annular cutter-compatible drill press spindles. The 1 inch depth of cut accommodates standard structural steel plate and tube wall thicknesses encountered in most field and shop applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch cutting diameter removes a clean slug with minimal material waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch depth of cut handles standard structural plate and tube stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 grade high speed steel construction for durability in ferrous metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with 2 flats locks securely in magnetic drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for mild steel, stainless steel, and general structural 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 spindles accepting a 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank.

Always secure the magnetic drill base fully to the workpiece and confirm the cutter arbor set screw engages the Weldon flat before applying power. Use cutting fluid or cutting oil to manage heat and extend cutter life, especially when cutting stainless steel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating cutting tools on metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 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 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\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: 0.38 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: 12648\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689394372914,"sku":"12648","price":142.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/48c2c5638a02e847fa712f0cfba02c1d.jpg?v=1788258810","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12648-annular-cutter-1-1-2-in-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
