Hougen 14005 Hss Annular Cutter Set 7/8 to 2-1/2 in 11 Pc

Product Description

The HOUGEN 14005 is an 11-piece high speed steel annular cutter set designed for professionals who need a range of hole sizes in a single kit. Annular cutters remove only the material at the hole perimeter, reducing cutting force and heat compared to twist drills. This set covers cutter diameters from 7/8 inch through 2-1/2 inches with a 1/8-inch cutting depth. All cutters carry a bright polished finish and feature a 3/8-inch shank diameter with 3 flats for secure chuck engagement. The set is suited for metalworking, fabrication, and structural steel applications where clean, precise holes are required.

This set is appropriate for use in magnetic drill presses and compatible drill fixtures commonly found in steel fabrication shops, ironworking, and mechanical contracting environments. The included arbor and pilots allow quick cutter changes across the six included cutter diameters: 7/8, 1-1/8, 1-3/8, 1-3/4, 2, and 2-1/2 inches. The plastic carrying case keeps cutters organized and protected between jobs. Fabricators, ironworkers, and millwrights are the primary users of annular cutter sets in this size range.

Installation Notes

Annular cutter sets are installed and serviced by fabricators, ironworkers, and mechanical trade professionals. Before changing cutters, power down the drill press or magnetic base unit and allow all rotating components to come to a complete stop. Secure the magnetic base fully to the workpiece before operation and verify the pilot pin is properly seated in the arbor before beginning a cut. Follow applicable OSHA and shop safety standards for rotating cutting tools.
