DRILLCO 9200SE HSS Annular Cutter — Efficient Large-Diameter Holemaking for Magnetic Drills
The DRILLCO 9200SE is a High Speed Steel (HSS) annular cutter engineered for cutting large diameter holes in low and medium strength steel. Designed for use with magnetic drills, it employs broach cutting technology that removes only the periphery of the hole and ejects a slug after the cut, requiring less energy and thrust than conventional twist drills. This cutter is suited for contractors and trades professionals who need fast, accurate holemaking up to 2 inches deep. Speed, feed, and lubrication are all critical to achieving optimal cutting tool performance with this product.

The 9200SE uses broach cutting technology to remove only the periphery of the hole rather than the full cross-section, resulting in faster penetration, less thrust, and lower energy consumption compared to conventional twist drills. Its HSS construction and bright finish are optimized for low to medium tensile strength steel, making it a purpose-built solution for magnetic drill holemaking rather than a general-purpose alternative.
Key Features & Benefits
Broach Cutting Technology
Rather than removing the entire cross-section of material, the 9200SE removes only the periphery of the hole and ejects a solid slug after the cut. This means significantly less energy and thrust are required, reducing operator fatigue and wear on the magnetic drill.
HSS Construction
Built from High Speed Steel, the 9200SE delivers reliable performance on low and medium strength steels. HSS provides the toughness needed to withstand the demands of production holemaking in structural and fabrication environments.
Bright Finish
The bright finish on the 9200SE is suited for low to medium tensile strength materials, providing smooth chip flow during the cut. This finish is appropriate for the steel grades this cutter is designed to work with.
Up to 2-Inch Depth of Cut
The 9200SE is capable of drilling holes up to 2 inches deep, accommodating a wide range of structural steel thicknesses commonly encountered in construction and fabrication work. This depth capacity reduces the need for multiple setups or tool changes.
Magnetic Drill Compatible
Designed specifically for use with magnetic drills, the 9200SE integrates into standard magnetic drill setups used on job sites and in fabrication shops. This compatibility makes it a practical choice for contractors working on steel structures where portability and precision are required.
Common Applications
Large Diameter Holemaking in Steel
The 9200SE is purpose-built for producing large diameter holes in low and medium strength steel, where conventional twist drills would require significantly more power and time.
Magnetic Drill Operations
Designed for use with magnetic drills, this cutter is ideal for on-site structural steel work where a magnetic drill is positioned directly on the workpiece for accurate, portable holemaking.
Structural Fabrication
Contractors and fabricators can use the 9200SE to produce clean, accurate holes in steel members for bolted connections, conduit pass-throughs, and other structural applications up to 2 inches deep.
Compatible Materials
- Low tensile strength steel
- Medium tensile strength steel

Safety Data Summary
Hazard Information
- During normal operation, HSS cutting tools do not present inhalation, ingestion, or other chemical hazards.
- Grinding, cutting, machining, burning, or welding may release dusts, fumes, or vapors that can be hazardous if exposure limits are exceeded.
- Excessive inhalation of metallic fumes and dusts may cause irritation of eyes, nose, and throat; symptoms may include metallic taste, dryness, chills, and fever persisting 12–48 hours.
- Chromium is listed as a carcinogen by NTP and OSHA; various forms of dermatitis and upper respiratory tract inflammation are possible from chromium exposure.
- Cobalt dust is identified as the most probable cause of respiratory diseases including occupational asthma and interstitial fibrosis.
- Tungsten: some evidence of pulmonary involvement such as cough.
- Vanadium: eye and respiratory tract irritant.
- Molybdenum: eye and mucous membrane irritant; individuals with kidney, chronic respiratory, or liver disease may be at increased risk.
- Fine metal particles produced when ground or sawed can burn; high concentrations in air may present an explosion hazard.
- NFPA Hazard Rating — Health: 1; Flammability: 0; Reactivity: 0
Personal Protective Equipment
- Wear safety glasses or goggles with side shields; do not wear contact lenses when handling.
- Cloth or leather gloves recommended when contact with dust or mist is likely.
- Use an appropriate NIOSH-approved respirator if airborne dust concentration exceeds the applicable PEL or TLV.
- Hearing protection may be required.
- Always use machine guards and wear protective clothing to prevent injury in the event of tool breakage.
- Employer should provide an eye wash station within the immediate work area.
Safe Handling
- Use only with local exhaust ventilation adequate to limit personal exposure to airborne dust below PEL or TLV levels.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking; wash exposed skin at end of work shift.
- Do not shake clothing, rags, or other items to remove dust — remove dust by washing or vacuuming with appropriate filters.
- Store in a dry place; store in a manner that prevents accidental environmental contamination from industrial lubricants or wetting oils.
- Clean up spills using methods that avoid dust generation: vacuum with appropriate filters, wet dust mop, or wet clean-up.
- Soiled clothing should be laundered separately.
- Incompatible with strong acids and strong oxidizers.
- For powder fires: smother with dry sand, dry dolomite, ABC-type fire extinguisher, or flood with water.
