TCT Annular Cutter Drill Bit

Tungsten Carbide Tipped Hollow Core Drill for Metal Fabrication, Factory Price, Global B2B Supply

Product Overview

Our TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) annular cutter, also known as a carbide hollow core drill bit, is a premium industrial-grade cutting tool engineered for high-efficiency, high-precision hole making in metal materials. Unlike traditional solid twist drills that remove 100% of the material in a hole, annular cutters only cut the peripheral edge of the hole, removing up to 85% less material, delivering 3-5x faster drilling speeds, and drastically reducing tool wear and operating costs.

Manufactured with industrial-grade tungsten carbide cutting teeth and high-strength hardened alloy steel bodies, our TCT annular cutters are the ultimate solution for metal fabricators, steel construction teams, maintenance technicians, and industrial manufacturers worldwide. They are universally compatible with all standard Weldon shank magnetic drill presses, making them a versatile, plug-and-play addition to your tool inventory.




Key Product Features

Premium Industrial-Grade Tungsten Carbide Cutting Teeth

Each cutting tooth is precision ground from high-grade YG8 tungsten carbide, with a hardness of up to HRA 92.5+, delivering exceptional wear resistance, impact resistance, and red hardness. It maintains sharp cutting edges even under continuous high-temperature cutting on high-hardness materials like 304/316 stainless steel and high-strength alloy steel, with a service life 5-8x longer than ordinary HSS annular cutters and 10x longer than bi-metal hole saws.

High-Strength Hardened Alloy Steel Body

The main body is manufactured from high-strength 40Cr chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, with full-body quenching and tempering treatment for superior torsional strength, anti-deformation performance, and vibration resistance. The precision-ground helical flutes ensure smooth chip evacuation and minimal cutting resistance during heavy-load operations, eliminating tool breakage and ensuring stable performance.

Universal Weldon Shank Design

Equipped with industry-standard Weldon shanks (available in 3/4" / 19.05mm and 1-1/4" / 31.75mm universal sizes), our TCT annular cutters are fully compatible with over 98% of magnetic drill presses, portable magnetic drills, and vertical drilling machines on the global market, with easy, firm clamping and zero slippage during operation.

Optimized Helical Flute & Cutting Geometry

The optimized 35° helical flute design provides continuous, smooth cutting and efficient chip evacuation, reducing cutting resistance by 40% compared to standard cutters. The staggered tooth geometry ensures even force distribution, low vibration, and clean, burr-free hole walls, eliminating the need for secondary reaming, deburring, or finishing operations.

Ultra-High Drilling Precision

Every annular cutter is precision ground with strict concentricity control (total runout ≤0.03mm), delivering perfectly round, vertical, burr-free holes with a smooth wall finish. It eliminates tapered, uneven holes common with traditional drills, meeting the strictest high-precision machining requirements for industrial bolt holes and structural steel connections.

Usage Tips & Maintenance

  1. Always Use Cutting Fluid: Reduce cutting temperature, lubricate cutting edges, and extend tool life, especially for stainless steel and hard alloys.
  2. Match Speed & Feed to Material: Use low RPM and steady feed for hard materials like stainless steel to avoid tooth chipping.
  3. Ensure Secure Clamping: Use a high-quality magnetic drill with a firmly adsorbed base to eliminate vibration, the #1 cause of premature tool wear.
  4. Clean & Inspect After Use: Remove chips from flutes, inspect teeth for damage, and store in protective tubes to avoid edge chipping.
  5. Professional Resharpening: Restore cutter performance and extend service life by 30-50% with professional resharpening when edges dull.
