SKU CH-CPX3-5DDJ9

  • nACo coating extends tool life by 30% over standard HSS cutters
  • Cuts steel, cast iron and stainless without changing bits
  • Nano coating resists wear and high-heat buildup
  • M2 high-speed steel removes only needed material for clean holes
  • 3/4" Weldon shank fits most magnetic drill presses

Purpose & User

The Drill America ANC5-530-157 is a nACo Nano-Composite coated annular cutter built for magnetic drill presses. It targets metalworkers who need fast, efficient hole-making in steel, cast iron, heated steel and stainless steel. The 3/4 inch Weldon shank fits most mag drills for secure mounting.

Fit & Limits

This cutter suits operators who rely on magnetic drill presses and want up to 30 percent longer tool life versus traditional high-speed steel cutters. It is not for buyers who need a bit for standard hand drills or conventional drill presses, as the shank and geometry are incompatible with those machines.

Capacity & Headroom

The M2 high-speed steel body cuts only the necessary material to produce quality holes quickly. The nano-composite coating adds protection against wear and high heat during demanding cuts. A pilot pin is included for alignment. The tool carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

What size magnetic drill press shank does the 3/4" Weldon Shank on this cutter fit?

The 3/4" Weldon Shank fits most magnetic drill presses, also called mag drills, but cannot be used with a standard hand drill or drill press.

Can the nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating on this cutter handle the heat when cutting stainless steel?

Yes, the nACo coating offers extra protection against high heat and tool wear, and the cutter is designed for difficult materials including stainless steels.

How will I know the pilot pin is correctly engaged during the first cut?

The included pilot pin centres the cutter and ejects the slug; a clean, burr-free hole and smooth slug ejection show it is working as intended.
