Annular cutters are the industry standard for hole-making in heavy duty applications. More precise than twist drills, these cutters can increase your cutting speed by up to 3 times over conventional methods, and leave a reamed quality, burr free hole.
Double action tooth geometry makes cutting faster, smoother and reduces chatter. Ground and fully fluted ejection channels provide better chip evacuation, requiring less power and improving performance in deeper holes. Weldon Shank with two flats for cutting mounting ensures a rigid cutting environment, and offers up to 2x the tool life compared to quick change mounting systems on competitive products.
Also known as; Slugger, Hougen, Core Drill, Rotabroach, Unibroach, Copperhead, Broach Cutter, Trepanning Drill or Cup-Type Cutter
Applications
Gold series annular cutters are ideal for aluminum, mild and stainless steel, and provide good performance on harder metals.
Drill Tips
Smaller diameter cutters use higher feed rates. Larger diameter cutters use slower feed rates. To increase the life of your cutter, use lubricating fluid or a lubricating stick.
Caution
Attempting to enlarge a hole with an annular cutter is the primary cause of cutter breakage. To enlarge holes, use a reamer or lathe.
