Drill America ANC5-530-145 nACo coated pneumatic accessory

1-1/4" nACo coated annular cutter

This Drill America accessory is a 1-1/4 inch annular cutter with a nACo nano-composite blue coating designed for magnetic drill presses. The M2 high speed steel body cuts only the necessary material for fast, efficient hole making in steel, cast iron, and stainless steels. It includes a 3/4 inch Weldon shank and a pilot pin for immediate use. This cutter is built for professionals who need accurate holes in tough metals.

Upgrades uncoated HSS cutters

The nACo coating increases tool life by up to 30 percent compared to traditional high speed steel annular cutters, reducing the frequency of tool changes on repetitive jobs. The coating also provides extra protection against wear and high heat generated when cutting difficult alloys. The jump is worth it when cutting volume justifies the premium over standard cutters and when downtime for swapping tools affects productivity.

Limited to magnetic drill presses

This accessory fits most magnetic drill presses via its 3/4 inch Weldon shank but cannot be used with standard hand drills or conventional drill presses. The design relies on the rigid, low-vibration platform of a mag drill to achieve clean, precise holes. Buyers without access to a magnetic drill press cannot use this cutter effectively.
