Technical Specifications of HSS Annular Cutters

Shanghai Easydrill’s annular cutters are engineered for durability and precision. Here’s a breakdown of their key features:

  • Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) grades M35/M42, enhanced with 5-8% cobalt for superior heat resistance.
  • Coatings: Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) for reduced friction and extended tool life.
  • Diameter Range: 12mm to 150mm, accommodating diverse hole-sizing needs.
  • Depth Capacity: Up to 75mm per cut, ideal for thick materials.
  • Shank Types: Weldon, threaded, or quick-change shanks for compatibility with magnetic drills and CNC machines.
  • Speed Recommendations:
    • Steel: 100–200 RPM
    • Stainless Steel: 80–150 RPM
    • Aluminum: 250–300 RPM
  • Compatible Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.

    Applications of HSS Annular Cutters

    These versatile tools are indispensable across industries:

    1. Metal Fabrication: Create precise holes for structural beams, plates, and pipelines.
    2. Construction: Drill anchor holes in steel frameworks and concrete-reinforced structures.
    3. Automotive Repair: Modify chassis, engine components, or exhaust systems efficiently.
    4. Machinery Manufacturing: Produce accurate bolt holes in heavy machinery parts.
    5. Shipbuilding: Handle thick steel plates with ease, ensuring watertight fittings.

    Advantages Over Traditional Drill Bits

    HSS annular cutters offer unmatched benefits:

    • Speed: Drill 3–5x faster than twist drills due to reduced contact area.
    • Precision: Achieve clean, burr-free holes with tight tolerances (±0.1mm).
    • Durability: Cobalt-enriched HSS and coatings withstand high temperatures, doubling tool lifespan.
    • Power Efficiency: Lower torque requirements save energy and reduce machine wear.
    • Cost-Effectiveness: Longer lifespan and minimal material waste lower long-term costs.
