HOUGEN 12000-Series Annular Cutter

The HOUGEN 12224 is a pneumatic accessory designed for magnetic drilling applications. It suits metalworking professionals who need accurate hole cutting in structural steel and plate. The cutter works with compatible magnetic drill presses that accept the 12000-Series shank configuration.

Replacing worn 12000-Series cutters

This cutter replaces a dull or damaged 12000-Series annular cutter of the same diameter and depth. The jump is worth it when the existing cutter shows reduced feed rates, rough hole finishes or increased cutting forces. A fresh cutter restores clean slug ejection and consistent hole diameter.

Check shank fit and machine capacity

Verify that your magnetic drill press accepts the 12000-Series shank before ordering. Confirm the machine can handle a 3/4 in. diameter by 3 in. depth of cut in the material you are drilling. Ensure the coolant system and arbor are compatible with the cutter geometry.

Questions about this item

Will the 12000-Series cutter fit a standard 3/4 in. arbor on my magnetic drill?

Yes, the 12000-Series Annular Cutter is built with a 3/4 in. shank that seats directly into a standard 3/4 in. arbor on magnetic base drills, so no adapter is required.

What is the correct way to install the pilot pin so the cutter does not walk on the first pass?

Insert the matching pilot pin through the centre hole of the cutter until it clicks into the internal groove, then tighten the arbor set-screw firmly against the pin flat; skipping the click step lets the pin shift and the cutter walk.

How often should the 12000-Series cutter be resharpened when cutting mild steel plate?

Resharpen the high-speed steel teeth after roughly every 12 holes in 3 in. thick mild steel, or whenever feed pressure rises noticeably; a dull cutter overloads the drill motor and shortens tool life.
