Buying Guide

Match diameter and depth to your project

Choose a cutter diameter and depth-of-cut that exceed the hole size and plate thickness you routinely machine to avoid multiple passes or unsupported cuts

Pick the right material and coating

High-speed steel (HSS) cutters suit general steel work; consider M2 alloy for better wear resistance on frequent or abrasive use

Consider shank type and arbor fit

Ensure the cutter shank (for example, Weldon-style) matches your mag drill arbor or available adapters to maintain concentricity and torque transfer

Balance cost and expected service life

Budget-friendly HSS cutters can be economical for occasional use, while higher-grade M2 options often last longer for production work, improving lifetime value

Check user ratings and size coverage

Prefer cutters with consistent user ratings across the sizes you need and a product line that offers the diameters and depths commonly used in your projects
