HOUGEN Annular Cutters - High-Speed Steel (HSS) 2-1/4" Metal Cutting Tool for Drilling, Fabrication & Industrial Use

Hougen 12272 2-1/4" x 2" 12,000-Series Annular Cutter is designed for high-performance holemaking in metal fabrication, construction, and industrial applications. Constructed from premium high-speed steel with an advanced coating, it delivers exceptional durability, wear resistance, and extended tool life. Featuring a two-flat mounting system, it ensures secure attachment and enhanced stability during operation. The outer and inner diameter margins improve cutting precision, while the fully fluted design enhances chip evacuation for efficient and smooth drilling. Its patented tooth geometry minimizes chatter, optimizing performance with each tooth featuring multiple cutting angles for superior accuracy. Engineered to cut up to three times faster than traditional twist drills, this annular cutter produces precise, burr-free holes with a clean surface finish. By evenly distributing the cutting load across multiple edges, it maximizes feed rates while requiring less horsepower and thrust. Optimized for use with Hougen magnetic drill presses and standard pilot pins, this cutter is ideal for drilling in structural steel, thick plate materials, and other demanding metalworking applications.
