Description
Overview:
The Timco HSS Broaching Cutter (16mm diameter x 30mm length) is a precision cutting tool for producing accurate, clean holes in metal. Made from high-grade high speed steel, it offers dependable strength and heat resistance under load. A Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coating further improves wear resistance and edge retention, supporting longer service life in demanding conditions. This cutter is suitable for magnetic drills and compatible machinery using the correct arbor system, making it a practical choice for site work and workshop tasks. It is designed to remove a core rather than the full hole volume, reducing effort and speeding up drilling compared with twist drills in many applications. Ideal for steel fabrication, maintenance, and installation work where consistent accuracy is required.
Key Features:
- 16mm diameter for common clearance and fixing holes in metalwork
- 30mm length for compact cutting in tight or overhead spaces
- High-grade HSS construction for toughness and heat resistance
- TiAlN coating enhances wear resistance and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge
- Produces clean, accurate holes with reduced burr formation
- Efficient material removal for faster drilling than equivalent twist drills in many cases
- Reliable performance on a wide range of ferrous and non‐ferrous metals (use appropriate speeds and coolant)
- Suitable for magnetic drills and other compatible machines using the correct arbor/pilot set
- Robust build for repeat use in construction, fabrication, and maintenance settings
- Straightforward to handle and store thanks to its compact form factor
Typical Applications:
Cutting precise holes in steel plate, box section, beams, channel, and fabrications. Useful for structural connections, bracketry, cable tray and conduit runs, machinery installation, repairs, and general metalworking. Well suited to site work with magnetic drills as well as workshop drilling setups with compatible arbors and pilots.
Also known as:
HSS annular cutter, metal hole cutter, core drill bit, mag drill cutter, core cutter, annular hole cutter, broach cutter.
