S&F STEAD & FAST Annular Cutter for Magnetic Drill Press

The S&F STEAD & FAST Annular Cutter is a top-tier tool designed for precision and durability. With a cutting diameter of 7/8 inches and a depth of cut reaching 1 inch, this annular cutter is perfect for use with magnetic drill presses. Crafted from super tough M2AL high-speed steel (HSS), it offers exceptional wear resistance and longevity, making it a reliable choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

This HSS annular drill bit features a CNC-machined design that ensures high precision in every cut. The 3/4 inch Weldon shank, equipped with two flats, guarantees secure clamping, allowing for a smooth and efficient drilling experience. The edge finish is meticulously designed to produce smooth, reamed, and burr-free edges, which is essential for achieving high-quality results in your projects.

When using the S&F STEAD & FAST Annular Cutter, it is crucial to apply firm and steady pressure throughout the cut. This technique not only enhances the cutting efficiency but also prolongs the life of the cutter. It is important to note that this series of annular cutters is specifically designed for drilling single layers of materials only. Attempting to drill through multiple layers can lead to premature failure of the cutter.

To maximize the performance of this annular cutter, it is recommended to start with a low feed rate when engaging the bit with the workpiece. Once the bit has penetrated approximately 2-3mm, you can increase to the recommended feed rate for optimal results. Additionally, securing the workpiece firmly before drilling is essential. If the workpiece is less than 1/2 inch thick, placing a 3/8 inch steel sheet underneath will ensure that the magnetic drill grips it securely, preventing any movement during the drilling process.

The S&F STEAD & FAST Annular Cutter is compatible with various brands of magnetic drills, including Alfra, BDS, Dewalt, Fein, Euroboor, Hougen, and Ruko. However, if you plan to use this annular cutter on a standard drill press, please be aware that you will need an extra annular cutter arbor, which is not included in this package.

Each purchase comes with a sturdy plastic case that holds one annular cutter and one pilot pin, ensuring that your tools are well-protected and organized. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a hobbyist, the S&F STEAD & FAST Annular Cutter is an indispensable addition to your toolkit, providing you with the reliability and performance you need for your drilling tasks.
