Description
Overview:
The Timco HSS Broaching Cutter is a high‐precision hole‐making tool designed for magnetic drills and dedicated broaching machines. Made from high‐grade high‐speed steel (HSS) and finished with a Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coating, it delivers strong wear resistance and consistent cutting performance under load. With a 13 mm (0.51 inch) diameter and 30 mm (1.18 inch) length, it is suitable for producing clean, accurate holes in steel and other common engineering metals. The annular cutting action removes only the material at the edge of the hole, giving faster drilling, reduced feed pressure, and a smooth finish compared with twist drills. Reliable and robust, this cutter suits workshop fabrication and on‐site construction tasks where repeatable, accurate hole sizing is essential.
Key Features:
- 13 mm (0.51 inch) diameter for precise, repeatable hole sizes in common steels
- 30 mm (1.18 inch) cutting length for plate and section work of typical site thicknesses
- High‐grade HSS body for toughness and long service life under demanding conditions
- TiAlN coating improves surface hardness, heat resistance, and wear life
- Annular cutting design for faster penetration and reduced load versus twist drills
- Produces clean, burr‐reduced holes that minimise finishing time
- Stable performance with magnetic drills and broaching machines for accurate results
- Suitable for mild steel, structural steel, and many non‐ferrous metals (use cutting fluid where appropriate)
- Efficient chip evacuation helps maintain cutting speed and accuracy
- Straightforward changeover on standard annular cutter arbors used by most mag drills
Typical Applications:
Commonly used for structural steelwork, site installations, and fabrication. Ideal for drilling bolt and anchor holes in beams, plates, brackets, and frames; preparing clearance holes around M12 fixings (13 mm); and producing accurate openings for fixtures, conduit, and general engineering tasks in workshops and on construction sites.
Also known as:
Annular cutter, broach cutter, core drill, mag drill cutter, HSS annular hole cutter, metal hole cutter, rotary broach cutter.
