HOUGEN 11128 11/16″, 1/4″ Deep High Speed Steel Annular Cutter or Tool Buy Direct

There is no better tool than the Hougen RotaCut sheet metal cutter for drilling burr-free holes. Whether you are making holes onsite, for metal fabrication, or in factory applications, Hougen RotaCut metal annular cutter can help you be more productive, more profitable. Hougen RotaCut annular cutter made from high-speed steel is known to cut holes ten times faster and last three times longer than twist drills or hole saws. Unlike the twist drills, multiple angles per tooth and no dead zone helps reduce the horsepower requirements and offer clear, accurate holes even with hand-held applications. RotaCut annular cutters are ergonomically designed to use with hand-held drills or drill presses. 11100 series annular cutters are hard enough to drill holes in metal plates up to half an inch thick. It is recommended to use these annular cutters on a stationary drill press for larger workpiece sizes. Most Hougen cutters can be resharpened up to 15 times, depending on the wear. Pay attention to the following cautions for longer life on your Hougen HSS Annular Cutter: Never use slower feed rates as it will only reduce the cutter’s life. Use firm steady feed pressure throughout cut to achieve the best results. Make sure to clear all chips before starting the next hole. A large build-up of debris can cause drill slippage. Check for a support system for the drill arbor or a drill press. Resharpen or replace your cutter when slug ejection becomes unreliable or the tool resists cutting.
