Description
Overview:
The Timco HSS Broaching Cutter is a precision annular cutter for fast, clean hole making in metal. It has a 24 mm diameter (approx. 0.94 in) and a 30 mm length (approx. 1.18 in), suitable for shallow to medium-depth holes in plate and structural sections. Made from high-grade high speed steel (HSS) with a hard-wearing Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coating, it balances toughness with heat and wear resistance for reliable performance. The cutter is designed for use in suitable drilling machines such as magnetic base drills and properly equipped pillar drills that accept annular cutters via the correct arbor. It produces accurate holes with a smooth finish, making it a practical choice for site work, workshop fabrication, and maintenance tasks.
Key Features:
- 24 mm cutting diameter (approx. 0.94 in) for common bolt and clearance hole sizes
- 30 mm length (approx. 1.18 in) to handle typical plate and section thicknesses
- High-grade HSS body for strength, edge retention, and impact resistance
- TiAlN coating for improved wear resistance and high-temperature stability
- Precision-ground geometry for accurate, round holes and a quality surface finish
- Efficient chip evacuation to reduce heat build-up and extend tool life
- Lower feed force than equivalent twist drills, aiding speed and control
- Suitable for magnetic drills and drill presses fitted with the correct arbor
- Consistent performance on ferrous metals such as mild steel and structural steel
- Clean cutting with minimal burr, reducing time on finishing and rework
- Straightforward to fit and remove; best results with appropriate cutting fluid
- Robust, dark grey coated finish that resists friction and oxidation
Typical Applications:
Fabrication of steel frames, beams, and plates; construction site drilling with a mag drill; maintenance and repair in workshops; installing fixings and penetrations in structural steel; producing clearance holes for bolts, studs, and conduit; repetitive hole making in jigs and fixtures; DIY metalworking projects where accuracy and a clean finish are required.
Also known as:
Annular cutter, core drill, core cutter, broach cutter, mag drill cutter, hole cutter, trepanning cutter, annular hole cutter, slugger-type cutter. These terms refer to cutters that remove a ring of material to form a hole rather than drilling out the entire core.
