Drill America ANC5-530-172 1-13/16" X 1" nACo Blue pneumatic accessory

SKU CH-A634-AH3W5

Nano-composite coated annular cutter extends tool life up to 30 percent for magnetic drill presses

  • nACo Nano-Composite coating extends tool life up to 30% over standard HSS cutters
  • Cuts steel, cast iron, heated and stainless steels for versatile material handling
  • nACo Nano Coating adds protection against wear and high heat during operation
  • M2 High Speed Steel removes only necessary material for fast, efficient hole making
  • 3/4" Weldon Shank fits most magnetic drill presses for secure mounting

Product Identity

Drill America ANC5-530-172 is a 1-13/16" annular cutter with a 1" depth of cut and nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating. It is designed for professionals cutting steel, cast iron, heated steel and stainless steel using magnetic drill presses. The 3/4" Weldon shank fits most mag drills and the M2 high speed steel body removes only necessary material for efficient hole making.

Installation Notes

The cutter mounts directly into any magnetic drill press with a standard 3/4" Weldon shank receiver. A pilot pin is included to ensure accurate centering and slug ejection. Do not attempt use in a standard hand drill or conventional drill press as the tool lacks the rigidity and coolant control required for annular cutting. Over-speeding or insufficient feed pressure will reduce the coating's 30% life advantage over traditional HSS cutters.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your magnetic drill press accepts a 3/4" Weldon shank and can deliver the correct RPM for the cutter diameter and workpiece material. Confirm the machine's maximum depth capacity meets or exceeds the 1" cutting depth. Ensure the workpiece is ferrous and thick enough for the magnetic base to hold securely. This product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the ANC5-530-172 annular cutter is cutting efficiently after mounting it in my magnetic drill press?

The nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating should show minimal wear and the cutter should produce clean, accurate holes in steel, cast iron, heated and stainless steels with reduced cutting force compared to uncoated HSS cutters.

What components are included with the ANC5-530-172 and what additional items are needed for operation?

The package includes the 1-13/16" x 1" nACo coated annular cutter with 3/4" Weldon shank and a pilot pin; a compatible magnetic drill press is required separately as this cutter cannot be used with standard hand drills or drill presses.

Which cutter specification should I select for my 3/4" Weldon shank magnetic drill press when cutting 1-13/16" diameter holes?

Choose the ANC5-530-172 model with 1-13/16" cutting diameter, 1" depth of cut, 3/4" Weldon shank and nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating for extended tool life in difficult materials including stainless steel.
