Annular cutter D16 mm — solid carbide, 50 mm cutting depth (RUKO)

The Annular cutter D16 mm is a solid carbide core drill engineered for heavy-duty metalworking, offering a 50 mm cutting depth and a Quick IN 18 mm shank for rapid tool changes in industrial production environments

• Solid carbide construction for long life
• 50 mm cutting depth for through-hole work
• Quick IN 18 mm shank for fast tool changes
• Suitable for hardened and high-chromium steels

High-performance cutting for demanding steels

Made from solid carbide, this annular cutter delivers high wear resistance and sustained cutting quality under load. The combination of a 16 mm diameter and 50 mm cutting depth enables efficient through-hole production in thicker sections, reducing the number of rework steps. Built with five cutting edges, the tool balances material removal and surface finish, which helps maintain consistent hole geometry in series production.

Faster set-up and uninterrupted workflows

The Quick IN 18 mm shank lets tool changes be completed quickly, shortening machine downtime and improving throughput. In systems where multiple operations are scheduled, the rapid interchangeability of the shank reduces fixture complexity and supports a leaner workflow. The effective shank design also stabilises the cutter during plunging, leading to fewer interruptions and a steadier feed rate in continuous runs.

Broad material compatibility explained

This cutter is specified for heavy and alloyed materials: railway rails, Hardox/Weldox 400, general steel and cast steel, and high-chromium grades such as V2A and V4A. The solid carbide geometry resists deformation and retains hardness at elevated cutting temperatures, which is why it is recommended for high-strength and abrasion-resistant steels. For operators unfamiliar with these terms, V2A and V4A denote common stainless steel grades with differing corrosion resistance and alloy content.

Practical benefits: quality, longevity and repeatability

By using a solid carbide annular design with multiple cutting edges, the tool reduces cycle time per hole while producing a consistent bore finish — a direct gain in productivity for workshops and production lines. The RUKO build quality and robust shank connection mean fewer tool changes over the life of the cutter and predictable performance across batches, supporting quality assurance and process planning in metal fabrication tasks.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this annular cutter?
The annular cutter is specified for railway rails, Hardox/Weldox 400, steel, cast steel and high-chromium steels such as V2A and V4A; these applications are listed for the RUKO annular cutter (SKU 4000602624NW).

What shank type does the tool use and how does it affect set-up?
The tool features a Quick IN 18 mm shank, which enables fast tool changes and simplifies machine set-up when using compatible quick-clamping systems with the RUKO annular cutter.

How deep can the cutter drill and what is the overall length?
The cutter has a cutting depth of 50 mm and an overall length of 83 mm, providing sufficient reach for through-hole tasks in thicker workpieces.

How many cutting edges does the tool have and why is that important?
This RUKO cutter is built with five cutting edges; multiple edges improve chip evacuation and help produce a consistent bore quality in series production.

Is the tool suitable for high-strength and wear-resistant steels?
Yes, the solid carbide construction and the cutter geometry are designed for use in high-strength and abrasion-resistant steels, which makes the RUKO annular cutter appropriate for such applications.
