Made from high speed steel (HSS) and CNC-machined for precision, these cutters are designed to produce smooth, reamed, burr-free edges when used with firm, steady pressure. The set also includes a 1/4 inch x 3 inch pilot pin and a sturdy plastic case to keep components organized between jobs.
Compatibility is a strong point: these cutters are intended for use with various brands of magnetic drills including Alfra, BDS, DEWALT, Euroboor, Hougen, and Ruko. If you plan to use an annular cutter on a standard drill press, note that an additional annular cutter arbor is required (not included).
