Evolution Power Tools
Evolution Power Tools CC168L Annular HSS Cutter
Cuts clean, burr-free holes in metal using a magnetic drill, removing only the perimeter to save time and energy compared to twist drills
- Cuts clean burr-free holes because it only removes the hole periphery
- Saves time and energy versus twist drills by cutting less material
- Works with magnetic drills for stable and accurate drilling
- HSS construction provides durability for repeated cutting tasks
- 1-11/16 inch diameter suits large hole applications
1-11/16" Annular HSS Cutter
The Evolution Power Tools CC168L is a high-speed steel annular cutter designed for magnetic drill presses. It creates a 1-11/16" diameter hole with a 2" depth of cut. This tool is suited for metalworkers and fabricators who need accurate, burr-free holes in structural steel and plate.
Sustained cutting performance
By cutting only the hole periphery, the annular design removes less material than a twist drill. This reduces the load on the magnetic drill motor during extended cuts. The high-speed steel construction maintains hardness at elevated temperatures, allowing consistent feed rates without premature dulling when used with proper coolant.
Upgrade from twist drills
This cutter replaces standard twist drills for large-diameter through-holes in steel. The jump is worth it when hole finish quality and drilling speed are priorities, as it produces a reamed-quality hole in a single pass. It is not for wood, masonry, or non-ferrous metals where chip evacuation differs.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 1-11/16" annular cutter draw during continuous use?
The cutter itself has no motor; power consumption depends entirely on the magnetic drill you pair it with.
What shank style must my magnetic drill accept for this cutter to fit?
This Evolution cutter uses the standard 3/4" Weldon shank found on most magnetic drills.
Can I run this cutter on a drill press I already own instead of a magnetic drill?
No, annular cutters require the rigid, low-RPM feed of a magnetic drill; a standard drill press will not hold the cutter securely.
