HOUGEN 18268 annular cutter identity
The HOUGEN 18268 Copperhead annular cutter is a pneumatic accessory built for heavy-duty hole cutting in metal. Its carbide-tip design suits industrial maintenance crews and fabrication shops that need reliable performance on structural steel and plate.
Sustained-load cutting behaviour
Carbide tips resist heat buildup during extended drilling cycles, keeping the cutter sharp longer than high-speed steel alternatives. The geometry ejects chips efficiently so the tool maintains steady feed rates without binding in deep cuts.
Pre-purchase setup checks
Verify that your magnetic drill or pneumatic drive unit accepts the cutter shank and delivers the required torque at the recommended speed. Confirm the workpiece thickness matches the 3-inch cutting depth and review the California Proposition 65 notice for workplace safety compliance.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 18268 annular cutter generate during continuous pneumatic drilling?
The carbide tips are designed to run cooler than standard steel cutters, reducing thermal buildup in the workpiece and extending tool life under sustained pneumatic feed pressure.
Which magnetic drill or pneumatic drive unit is required to run the 18268 cutter?
A compatible magnetic-base drill or pneumatic drill press with a 3/4 in. Weldon shank arbor and sufficient stroke length for a 3 in. depth of cut is needed to mount and operate this cutter.
Will the 18268 Copperhead cutter fit the pilot pins and arbors from my older Hougen cutters?
Yes, it uses the industry-standard 3/4 in. Weldon shank and standard pilot-pin diameter, so existing Hougen arbors and ejector pins for 2 in. to 3 in. cutters will engage correctly.
