Drill America nACo Nano-Composite Cutter

The Drill America ANC5-530-181 is a 2" X 1" annular cutter with a blue nACo Nano-Composite coating. It is built from M2 High Speed Steel and designed for magnetic drill presses. The 3/4" Weldon Shank fits most mag drills. A pilot pin is included for accurate hole alignment.

Metalworkers needing extended cutter life

This accessory suits operators cutting steel, cast iron, heated steel and stainless steel where heat and wear reduce standard tool life. The coating increases tool life up to 30% compared to traditional HSS annular cutters. It is not for users without a magnetic drill press; do not use with a standard hand drill or drill press. Buyers needing a different shank size or cutting diameter should look elsewhere.

2-inch diameter cutting capacity

The cutter removes only necessary material for fast, efficient hole making in difficult alloys. The nACo Nano Coating provides extra protection against high heat during prolonged cuts. Headroom ends at the 1-inch depth of cut and the fixed 3/4" Weldon Shank interface. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.
