EasyDrill Weldon Shank Annular Cutters – HSS M2AL, 50mm DOC
Weldon Shank Annular Cutters from EasyDrill are designed for reliable and cost-effective hole cutting in structural steel, plate, general fabrication and engineering applications. Manufactured from HSS M2AL high-speed steel, this uncoated range provides a practical solution for workshops and site operators requiring dependable annular cutting performance with magnetic drilling machines.
The EasyDrill 50mm DOC range features a standard 19.05mm Weldon shank for secure and stable clamping. With a 50mm cutting depth and sizes available from Ø12mm to Ø65mm, the range covers many common hole sizes used in steel fabrication, maintenance, construction and general engineering.
EasyDrill HSS M2AL Weldon Shank Annular Cutters
Unlike conventional twist drills that remove material across the entire diameter of the hole, an annular cutter removes material only around the circumference. This cutting method leaves a solid centre slug and can reduce the amount of material being cut, making annular cutters particularly suitable for larger-diameter holes in steel plate and structural sections.
The HSS M2AL construction provides a useful combination of toughness, wear resistance and cutting performance for general-purpose drilling. The uncoated design is a straightforward and economical choice for workshops looking for dependable performance without the additional cost of a coated cutter.

50mm Cutting Depth
The 50mm depth of cut provides additional drilling capacity compared with shorter annular cutter ranges and is useful when drilling thicker steel plate, structural sections and fabricated components.
When selecting a cutter, always confirm the required hole diameter, material thickness and available cutting depth before drilling. The magnetic drill, arbor and pilot pin should also be suitable for the selected cutter diameter and cutting depth.
Available Cutting Sizes
EasyDrill HSS M2AL Weldon Shank Annular Cutters with 50mm DOC are available from Ø12mm to Ø65mm. The range includes standard whole-millimetre sizes together with selected half-millimetre sizes in the smaller diameter range.
The variable product selector above allows you to choose the required cutting diameter. If a size is shown as available on back-order, MachineryPLUS can confirm supplier availability before or after your order is placed.
Typical Applications
- Structural steel fabrication
- Steel plate drilling
- General engineering
- Machine fabrication
- Maintenance and repair
- Workshop drilling
- On-site magnetic drilling
- Steel frames and structural sections
19.05mm Weldon Shank
The standard 19.05mm Weldon shank provides positive and secure tool holding in compatible magnetic drill arbors. Correct clamping helps maintain cutter stability during drilling and reduces the risk of movement under cutting load.
Before ordering, check that your magnetic drilling machine and arbor accept a 19.05mm Weldon shank and have sufficient capacity for the required cutter diameter and drilling depth.
Pilot Pin
A compatible pilot pin should be used with the annular cutter. The pilot pin assists with hole positioning, coolant flow where applicable and ejection of the centre slug after drilling.
For this range, the matching pilot pin for Ø12–65mm cutters is 6.34 × 102mm.
Availability & Delivery
MachineryPLUS stocks selected popular annular cutter sizes in Perth, while other sizes may be supplied on back-order depending on current supplier stock.
Typical delivery: 2–3 weeks for back-order sizes, subject to supplier availability, after your order is received and payment is confirmed.
If you require a particular diameter urgently or need multiple sizes, please contact MachineryPLUS before ordering and we can check current availability.
Choosing the Right Annular Cutter
When selecting between different Weldon Shank Annular Cutters, consider the required hole diameter, material thickness, cutting depth and the capacity of your magnetic drilling machine. For thinner materials, a shorter DOC cutter may be more economical, while the 50mm DOC range provides additional capacity for thicker workpieces.
