Why an Annular Cutter Slug Gets Stuck
Slug retention can come from a bent pilot, insufficient ejection space, chips packed in the cut or cutter misalignment.
Annular Cutters: selection checklist
- Use the correct pilot pin.
- Stop safely and clear chips rather than forcing the tool.
- Check the arbor and cutter for damage.
How to choose the right option
- Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
- Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
- Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
