With the most features of any annular cutter, “12,000-Series” cutters provide the best performance and value.
Features include: Two flats for cutter mounting, O.D. Margins, I.D. Margins, fully fluted tools, patented tooth geometries, material types, coatings, and resharpenability.
Hougen cutters with the Hougen-Edge®, feature a patented tooth geometry that provides long tool life, less chatter, and extended resharpenability.
Compared to traditional tooling (twist drills, etc.) Hougen cutters can multiply your cutting speed by up to 3 times.
And you get longer tool life, a more accurate hole, a better finish, with no burrs.
Hougen cutters maximize feed rates because up to 10 or more cutting edges distribute the cutting load evenly.
By converting a smaller area to chips, Hougen Cutters require less horsepower and thrust.
