Drill America 2-1/16" Annular Cutter

This high-speed steel annular cutter creates 2-1/16 inch diameter holes with a 2 inch depth of cut. It is built for magnetic drill presses using a 3/4 inch Weldon shank and includes a pilot pin for alignment. The tool suits metal fabrication shops and maintenance crews needing fast, clean holes in structural steel.

Heat and power in normal use

High-speed steel construction balances hardness with toughness to resist wear during extended cutting cycles. The annular geometry removes only the hole perimeter, reducing motor load and heat buildup compared with solid twist drills. Proper cutting fluid keeps temperatures low and preserves edge life on magnetic drill presses.

3/4 inch Weldon shank fit

The cutter mounts exclusively on magnetic drill presses that accept a 3/4 inch Weldon shank. It will not fit standard hand drills, bench drill presses or any tooling without that specific arbor. Buyers who need a cutter for a different shank size or a non-magnetic machine must select another product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3/4" Weldon Shank on my magnetic drill press, and what step do people skip?

Insert the shank fully into the magnetic drill press chuck and tighten the set screws securely; the step often missed is verifying the pilot pin seats correctly in the cutter before starting the cut.

What maintenance or replacement will the HSS annular cutter need after extended use?

The high-speed steel cutting edges will dull over time and require resharpening or cutter replacement; the pilot pin also wears and should be replaced when it no longer centers accurately.

What limit appears first when using this cutter continuously in thick steel?

Heat buildup in the high-speed steel body reduces cutting efficiency and edge life before the 2-inch depth capacity is reached, especially without adequate coolant flow.
