The cutter measures 1-1\/16 inches in diameter with a 3-inch depth of cut, making it well-suited for thick structural steel, plate work, and fabrication applications. The 3\/4-inch shank with two flats provides a positive, slip-resistant connection to compatible magnetic drill presses and annular cutter holders. The oxide straw finish indicates a heat-treatment process consistent with high-speed cutting performance. Licensed electricians, ironworkers, pipefitters, and general fabricators are the primary installers of this type of tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for use on aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel stock. Its 3-inch depth of cut makes it appropriate for deep-hole applications in structural members, pipe flanges, and heavy plate where standard annular cutters fall short. The carbide-tipped construction extends tool life when cutting abrasive or harder alloy materials compared to high-speed steel alternatives. Trade professionals using magnetic base drills on structural steel erection or pipe fabrication jobs will find this depth capacity particularly useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/16 inch cutting diameter for precise, full-diameter holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch depth of cut for deep-hole work in thick structural members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped cutting edges for extended tool life on steel and stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch shank diameter with 2 flats for secure, anti-rotation chuck engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide straw finish indicating tempered, heat-treated construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible material applications include aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with magnetic drill presses and annular cutter arbors accepting a 3\/4-inch flatted shank.

Always secure the magnetic base drill fully to a clean, flat workpiece surface before beginning a cut, and use an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend cutter life. De-energize all adjacent electrical circuits and follow applicable OSHA and site-specific safety requirements when cutting near live systems. Inspect the cutter shank and flats for wear before each use to ensure a secure chuck connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/16 inches (1.0625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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: 0.5 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: 3-18234\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOUGEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701199438130,"sku":"3-18234","price":117.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5243b37bd5312c94f7911f9334d59bd6.jpg?v=1788399708","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hougen-3-18234-annular-cutter-carbide-tipped-1-1-16-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
