Blue-coated annular cutter with Weldon shank and pilot pin

Drill America

Drill America ANC5-530-169 1-3/4" X 1" nACo Coated Blue pneumatic accessory

SKU CH-6DCM-P7MB8

nACo Nano-Composite coating extends cutter life by 30% for fast, efficient holes in steel, cast iron and stainless with a 3/4" Weldon shank

  • nACo coating extends tool life up to 30% over standard HSS cutters
  • Nano-composite layer protects against wear and high heat during cutting
  • M2 high-speed steel removes only needed material for fast, clean holes
  • 3/4" Weldon shank fits most magnetic drill presses for quick changes
  • Includes pilot pin for accurate hole alignment on magnetic drills

1-3/4" nACo Annular Cutter

This nACo coated blue annular cutter from Drill America is designed for magnetic drill presses. The nano-composite coating increases tool life by up to 30 percent compared to traditional high-speed steel cutters. It cuts difficult materials including steel, cast iron, heated and stainless steels. The 3/4 inch Weldon shank fits most magnetic drill presses and a pilot pin is included.

Compatibility Check

Verify that you are using a magnetic drill press, also called a mag drill, as this cutter is not for standard hand drills or drill presses. Confirm your press accepts a 3/4 inch Weldon shank. Ensure the application involves cutting only the necessary material for efficient hole making in the materials listed. Note the California Proposition 65 warnings regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Upgrade from Standard HSS Cutters

This cutter replaces traditional high-speed steel annular cutters when longer life and better heat resistance are needed. The nACo nano coating provides extra protection against wear and high heat during demanding cuts. The jump is worth it for operators cutting tough alloys who want fewer tool changes and faster, quality hole making. It is not for users without a magnetic drill press.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Drill America ANC5-530-169 and what must I supply?

The cutter includes a pilot pin. You must supply a magnetic drill press with a 3/4" Weldon shank holder; it will not work in a standard hand drill or drill press.

Which coating or material version should I pick for cutting steel and stainless?

This model uses an nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating on M2 high-speed steel, giving up to 30% longer life versus traditional HSS annular cutters in steel, cast iron, heated and stainless steels.

What does the 30% tool-life increase mean when the cutter is in a mag drill?

The nACo coating reduces wear and handles high heat, so the cutter stays sharp longer and makes more holes per bit when cutting difficult metals on a magnetic drill press.
