Annular cutters are specialized tools designed for creating clean, burr-free holes in metal, used by fabricators, welders, and construction workers. ToolSource offers 37 annular cutter products to meet diverse drilling needs.

About Annular Cutters

Annular cutters, often searched for as 'magnetic drill bits' or 'mag drill cutters', are essential for efficient hole creation in steel and other metals. Unlike traditional twist drills that remove material from the entire hole area, annular cutters remove only a thin ring of material, leaving a slug. This design results in faster drilling, less power consumption, and a cleaner, more precise hole with minimal burring.

ToolSource carries a wide range of annular cutters from trusted brands like Milwaukee Electric Tools and Blair Equipment. Milwaukee Electric Tools is renowned for its high-performance cutters, often sought after for their durability and speed in demanding applications. Blair Equipment specializes in cutters designed for specific tasks, including spot weld removal and body panel work, making them a go-to for automotive and fabrication shops. When customers search for 'annular cutter sets' or 'annular cutter sizes', they'll find options ranging from individual cutters to comprehensive kits, available in various diameters and depths to suit different material thicknesses and project requirements.

These cutters are primarily used with magnetic drills, which provide the stability and power needed for precise metal drilling. Common applications include structural steel fabrication, bridge construction, shipbuilding, and general metalworking where accurate, large-diameter holes are required. We offer cutters made from high-speed steel (HSS) for general purpose drilling and carbide-tipped options for tougher materials and extended tool life, addressing needs for both 'HSS annular cutters' and 'carbide annular cutters'.

Annular Cutters

An annular cutter cuts only a ring of material at the edge of the hole and leaves a solid slug in the center. That makes it much faster than a twist drill for large holes in steel plate, beams and frames, with less heat and a cleaner, burr-free hole. Annular cutters are normally run in a magnetic drill press, though some sizes are made for threaded-arbor drills.

This category includes Milwaukee Steel Hawg threaded cutters from 15/16 in. to 6 in., Milwaukee carbide-tipped annular cutters with a 3/4 in. shank for hard and abrasive steel, and Blair Rotabroach and Karbon X cutter kits.

Use cutting fluid, run at the speed recommended for the cutter diameter, and let the pilot pin eject the slug at the end of the cut.
