Hougen 12,000-Series Annular Cutter Kit for Magnetic Drills

Quality American-Made Products Hougen has been manufacturing the renowned "12,000-Series" Annular Cutters since their invention in 1974. In fact, there was a time when the company's president himself was responsible for the precise tooth geometry on every Hougen cutter produced worldwide.

This attention to detail is critical, as Hougen employees take personal accountability for the quality of every tool the company makes. Rigorous quality checks are performed on the latest machinery to ensure each cutter meets exact specifications and tolerances. Maintaining this level of quality control is challenging when products are manufactured outside the United States, which is why Hougen proudly makes its cutters right here at home in the USA.
