Steelmax offers a full line of high-quality High Speed Steel (HSS) and Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) annular cutters for all of your hole-making needs. We stock a full range of HSS and TCT cutters from 7/16″ to 3″ in diameter and 1″, 2″ and 3″ depths of cut. Custom sizes are also available. All Steelmax annular cutters have standard Weldon shanks (3/4″ shank for cutter diameters up to 2-3/8″ and 1-1/4″ shank for cutter diameters above 2-3/8″). As a result, Steelmax cutters will fit and improve the performance of any mag drill!
Annular cutters have many advantages over traditional twist drills:
- Eliminates costly and time consuming step-drilling
- Significantly less drilling time – 3-4 times faster than twist drills
- Longer tool life – 5-10 times as many holes as a comparable twist drill bit
- More accurate and higher quality holes – burr-free with no clean up
- Easily drill on curved surfaces such as pipe or tubing
- Create overlapping holes
- Lower machine and horsepower requirements when compared to twist drills
This Steelmax offering is a 13 piece or 7 piece premium annular cutter set available in 1" & 2" depth of cut. These annular cutter sets give you a complete system to handle the most popular hole-making jobs. Utilizing the carrying case also helps maintain the life of the annular cutters. Steelmax HSS (High Speed Steel) cutters utilize an M2Al (aluminum additive) formulation which increases cutter life due to better heat propagation characteristics and a less brittle character compared to other M2 formulations, such as those using a cobalt additive.-
Pilot Pins for Annular Cutters are crucial components in the drilling process, particularly in metalworking and heavy-duty applications. They serve as guides and alignment device for the annular cutter or magnetic drill, ensuring the most precise and accurate hole drilling. 
Step Drills with Titanium Nitride Coating
Our premium Step Drills, expertly designed for precision drilling in sheet metal, thin metal, and metal alloy are available in a 3 or 5 item set with carrying case. Crafted from High-Speed Steel (HSS) with an M2-AL formulation and Titanium Nitrate coating, these drill bits offer exceptional durability and efficiency and now you can approach any job with the confidence that you have the right sized fluted step drill in your arsenal.Advanced Material for Extended Cutter Life
These Step Drills feature an M2-AL formulation, which provides superior heat propagation and a less brittle structure compared to other M2 formulations, including those with cobalt additives. This ensures a longer lifespan and consistent performance. The addition of a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating further enhances the longevity of these drills, delivering smoother and more efficient drilling operations. This coating not only extends the tool’s life but also optimizes the drilling process by reducing friction and wear.Automatic Deburring and Efficient Design
Designed with a two-flute system, these Step Drills ensure faster and smoother cutting. As you drill, the bits automatically deburr the holes, saving you time and effort. Capable of effortlessly piercing through metals with a thickness of up to 5/32” (4mm), our Step Drills are the perfect solution for all your metalworking needs. Upgrade your toolkit with our 3 or 5 piece High-Performance Step Drills with Titanium Nitride Coating and experience the confidence of knowing you are ready for all your drilling projects.- Tap Size Annular Cutters with Pilot Pin Installed Experience precision and efficiency with our comprehensive range of HSS Tap Size Annular Cutters.
