Drill America 1-9/16" annular cutter

The Drill America ANC5-530-260 is a 1-9/16" nACo coated annular cutter designed for magnetic drill presses. Its 3/4" Weldon shank fits most mag drills for fast, efficient hole making in steel, cast iron and stainless steels. The M2 high speed steel body cuts only the necessary material for quality results. It is not suited for standard hand drills or conventional drill presses.

nACo Nano-Composite coating performance

The nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating increases tool life up to 30% compared to traditional HSS annular cutters while offering extra protection against wear and high heat. This allows sustained cutting in difficult materials including heated steels without rapid degradation. The coating maintains cutting efficiency during extended operations where uncoated tools would dull quickly.

Magnetic drill press installation

Installation requires a magnetic drill press with a 3/4" Weldon shank receiver; the cutter will not work in standard hand drills or drill presses. A pilot pin is included to align the cut and eject the slug. Common issues arise when users attempt to mount the cutter in incompatible chucks or neglect the pilot pin, leading to poor hole quality or tool damage.
