It features a 1-3\/8 inch cutting diameter and a 2 inch depth of cut, making it well suited for thicker structural steel applications. The cutter is manufactured from M2-grade high-speed steel and carries a titanium nitride (TiN) finish that increases surface hardness and extends cutting life compared to uncoated tooling. The 3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with two flats provides positive drive and eliminates slippage in compatible magnetic drill press chucks. Machinists, ironworkers, and structural fabricators are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOUGEN 12744 is intended for use in magnetic drill presses and milling machines equipped with a Weldon-style chuck accepting a 3\/4 inch shank. It is rated for cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel stock. The 2 inch depth of cut allows the cutter to pass through standard structural members, pipe flanges, and plate steel in a single pass without repositioning. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, ironworking, and on-site structural steel erection where portable mag drills are the standard tool of choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/8 inch cutting diameter for precise, slug-ejecting holes in steel plate and structural members\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 inch depth of cut handles standard structural steel sections in a single pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2-grade high-speed steel construction delivers hardness and heat resistance during continuous cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating increases surface hardness and extends cutter service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch Weldon flat shank with 2 flats ensures positive chuck engagement and slip-free drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic drill presses and milling machines equipped with a Weldon-style chuck accepting a 3\/4 inch shank diameter.

Ensure the magnetic drill base is fully seated and energized on a clean, flat steel surface before starting the cut. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid or pilot pin lubricant to extend cutter life and prevent heat buildup. Inspect the Weldon flat shank set screws in the chuck for proper tightening before each use to prevent shank movement during the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8 inches (1.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\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: 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\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.47 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: 12744\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720983740722,"sku":"12744","price":154.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5799fec7d162e21191d396d5186985ca.jpg?v=1788571850","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12744-annular-cutter-1-3-8-in-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
