Carbide Cutters for Tough Holemaking Applications


Hougen Manufacturing, North America's leading producer of portable holemaking equipment including its 15 models of lightweight portable magnetic drills, along with a full lineup of Rotabroach® hole cutting tools, has unveiled a new series of annular tools... Copperhead(TM) Annular Carbide Tip Cutters. Available in sizes from 9/16" to 1-1/2" diameter, and for holemaking to 2" depth of cut, the Copperhead tools feature carbide tip cutting edges brazed onto a steel body, providing greater wear resistance and more holes-per-tool productivity in tough drilling applications involving high Brinnell hardness alloys or abrasive cast irons.

The Copperhead tools feature a dual flat shank and are designed for use in Hougen's portable magnetic drills or, with a spindle adapter, may be employed in stationary drill presses, lathes and machining centers. The tools are resharpenable to provide even longer service life and each tool undergoes a special surface treatment, which gives them a distinct color and, consequently, the Copperhead designation.

Hougen Manufacturing was a pioneer in annular cutter technology, developing its exclusive cutting tooth geometry design more than 50 years ago. Because this type of cutter is hollow (there's no 'dead zone' center point as with twist or spade drills), the Rotabroach style cutters can produce holes 2 to 3 times faster than conventional drills, and will typically require less horsepower and torque than traditional holemaking tools, thus lightweight portable drills and small-powered equipment can drill larger diameter holes.

In addition to the new Copperhead annular cutters, Hougen Manufacturing provides machine shops, fabricators, erection and installation crews, and maintenance personnel with a wide range of holemaking equipment, including portable magnetic drills with capacities to 3-1/16" diameter thru materials up to 3" thick-or compact magnetic drills measuring just 6-11/16" high that fit in the tightest locations. Other products offered include a wide assortment of magnetic drill accessories that broaden their application potential, plus heavy-duty cutters for machining applications, cutters for holemaking in sheet metal and plate, and Punch-Pro® Electro-hydraulic Hole Punchers.
