Hougen Annular Cutter Advantage
Faster, Cleaner Holemaking with Hougen Cutters
Hougen annular cutters drill burr-free holes by cutting around the hole and ejecting the center as a usable slug. The result is faster cutting, less thrust, longer tool life, and cleaner holes compared to standard twist drills.
Why Use Hougen Cutters PDF
Less Horsepower
Removes less material than a twist drill, allowing faster feeds and higher metal removal rates.
Less Thrust
Requires far less thrust because annular cutters do not have a dead-center chisel edge.
Longer Tool Life
Multiple cutting teeth reduce chip load, improve finish, and help cutters last longer.
Experience the Hougen Edge®
Hougen’s patented end-tooth geometry helps reduce thrust, improve finish, and keep the cutter path straight — even through deeper holes.
