Industrial 53196 Annular Cutter

Industrial 53196 Annular Cutter is a hollow-core cutter engineered for fast, perimeter-only hole making in ferrous metals, delivering cleaner holes with less waste than traditional twist drills. Designed for magnetic drill presses and portable drills, it is commonly used in structural steel fabrication, construction, shipbuilding, and industrial maintenance to create large-diameter holes efficiently. Specifications include a 1-13/16 in (1.8125 in) cutting diameter, a 3 in (76.2 mm) cutting depth, and a 1-1/4 in (31.75 mm) shank; the cutter is offered as hollow core / annular type. Made for structural steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, it uses peripheral cutting and is available in High-Speed Steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped form depending on manufacturer. Compatible equipment includes magnetic drill presses and portable drills; coolant systems can be flood coolant or internal lubrication, and common replacements include Hougen 12196, Milwaukee 49-59-2196, and Fein 63134999196. Applications cover hole cutting and metal fabrication in structural steel fabrication, construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing environments.
