With a cutter diameter of 13\/16 inches (0.8125 inches decimal) and a cutting depth of 2 inches, this cutter removes a solid core plug rather than reducing the entire hole cross-section to chips, which reduces cutting force and extends tool life. The 3\/4 inch shank features 2 flats for positive drive engagement in compatible magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders. An oxide straw finish provides baseline corrosion resistance. This tool is installed and used by metal fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who require precision holes in structural and sheet metal applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOUGEN 18226 is suited for use in stationary or portable magnetic drill press setups. It is appropriate for production and field applications where round, burr-minimized holes are required without the heat and torque load of conventional twist drilling. Typical scenarios include structural steel fabrication, pipe fitting layout, equipment mounting, and maintenance repair operations on metal frames and plates. The 2 inch depth of cut accommodates thicker stock and stacked material cuts where needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide tipped cutting edges for extended tool life in hard and abrasive metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e13\/16 inch cutter diameter with 2 inch depth of cut for deep hole capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch shank diameter with 2 flats for secure, positive drive in standard annular cutter holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide straw finish for basic corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCore ejection design reduces cutting force compared to solid twist drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders that accept a 3\/4 inch shank with 2 flats.

Ensure the workpiece is secure and the magnetic base or fixture is fully engaged before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant to preserve carbide tip life, particularly when cutting stainless steel. Inspect the cutting edges and shank flats for wear before each use and replace the cutter when edge degradation affects hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\/16 inches (0.8125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\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\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide Tipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 pounds\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: 18226\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51713196851506,"sku":"18226","price":85.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3b6006b6df47a0d9525b84da7324e9dd.jpg?v=1788491882","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-18226-annular-cutter-13-16-in-carbide-tipped","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
