Drill America nACo Coated Cutter

This Drill America annular cutter features nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating for extended tool life. It is designed for magnetic drill presses only and cuts steel, cast iron, and stainless steels efficiently. The M2 high speed steel construction removes only necessary material for quality hole making.

Thermal Performance and Power

The nACo coating provides extra protection against high heat and tool wear during cutting operations. It increases tool life up to 30% compared to traditional HSS annular cutters. This design reduces friction and heat buildup in demanding materials.

3/4 Inch Weldon Shank Compatibility

This cutter fits most magnetic drill presses with a 3/4 inch Weldon shank. It comes with a pilot pin for proper alignment during use. Do not use with a standard hand drill or drill press.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3/4" Weldon shank on my magnetic drill press, and what step do people get wrong?

Align the shank flat with the spindle set-screw, push fully home and tighten both screws evenly; the common mistake is using a standard hand drill or drill press instead of a magnetic drill press.

What maintenance or replacement will the nACo coated annular cutter need later?

The nACo Nano-Composite coating extends tool life up to 30%, so the cutter itself lasts longer; only the supplied pilot pin typically requires periodic replacement when worn.

What limit appears first during sustained cutting in stainless steel?

Heat buildup is the first limit; the nACo coating provides extra protection against high heat, but continuous heavy cuts will still reach a thermal ceiling before the cutter dulls.
