With a 1-inch cutting diameter and a 3-inch depth of cut, this cutter handles deep-penetration applications that standard twist drills cannot reach efficiently. The 3\/4-inch shank diameter with two flats provides a positive, slip-resistant connection to compatible magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders. The oxide straw finish helps extend tool life and reduces friction during cutting. Metalworking professionals, ironworkers, and fabricators use this cutter for production and field work alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for use on aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel stock. The 3-inch depth of cut makes it well matched for structural members, heavy plate, and tube steel where through-hole penetration requires extended reach. It is intended for use with magnetic drill presses or drill press setups that accept a 3\/4-inch shanked annular cutter with a two-flat drive interface. Its carbide-tipped construction supports repeated use in demanding material removal environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch cutting diameter with 3-inch depth of cut for deep-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped construction for durability across steel, stainless steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch shank diameter with 2 flats for secure seating in compatible holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide straw finish reduces friction and helps resist wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece package ready for immediate field or shop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders that accept a 3\/4-inch shank with a two-flat drive interface.

Secure the cutter fully into the holder and verify the set screws engage both flats before operating. Always use cutting oil or an appropriate lubricant to extend cutter life and improve cut quality. Ensure the magnetic drill press base is firmly secured to the workpiece before beginning the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 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: 0.5 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: 3-18232\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693830439218,"sku":"3-18232","price":111.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fda5b99d5cf925ea77482dbfedf95d3a.jpg?v=1788317927","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-3-18232-annular-cutter-1-in-carbide-tipped","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
