With a 1.625-inch (1-5\/8 inches) cutting diameter and a 2-inch depth of cut, this cutter handles structural steel, mild steel, and stainless steel in fabrication, ironwork, and mechanical contracting applications. The M2 high speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting, and the titanium nitride (TiN) coating extends edge life by reducing friction and surface wear. The Weldon flat shank seats securely in compatible magnetic drill press chucks and annular cutter holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for trade professionals performing on-site or shop drilling in structural steel and plate stock. Typical applications include bolt-hole layout on steel beams and columns, mechanical and electrical conduit penetrations through steel members, and fabrication work where a clean, burr-minimal hole is required. The 2-inch depth of cut accommodates standard structural steel flange and web thicknesses encountered in commercial and industrial work. Welding, pipefitting, ironworking, and electrical trades commonly use annular cutters of this size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-5\/8 inches cutting diameter with 1.6250-inch decimal equivalent for precise layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch depth of cut handles standard structural steel sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN (titanium nitride) coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch Weldon flat shank with 2 flats for positive, slip-free chuck engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel stock\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.

Always secure the cutter fully into the holder and verify the set screw engages the flat before operation. Use cutting oil or an appropriate lubricant on the workpiece to manage heat and extend cutter life. Disconnect and de-energize the magnetic drill base before changing cutters, and ensure the workpiece is clamped or the magnetic base is fully seated before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches (1.6250 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\u003eCutter Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2 High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\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: 0.59 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: 12752\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692154126642,"sku":"12752","price":226.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/16cc005628b617f03e43f249cbcac40b.jpg?v=1788293834","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-12752-annular-cutter-1-5-8-in-2-in-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
