Why an Annular Cutter Stops Cutting

A dull cutter, incorrect shank, insufficient lubricant, poor magnet contact or wrong speed can stop an annular cutter from cutting efficiently.

Annular Cutters: selection checklist

  • Inspect teeth, arbor and pilot pin.
  • Clean the magnetic base and work surface.
  • Confirm depth, speed and lubricant.

How to choose the right option

  1. Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
  2. Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
  3. Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
