Silver cylindrical carbide-tipped annular cutter with Weldon shank and pilot pin

Drill America

Drill America CTC5-530-157 1-1/2" X 1-3/8" Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter

SKU CH-5KW6-KC0MC

Carbide-tipped annular cutter drills large-diameter holes in hard materials with longer life than high-speed cutters

  • Carbide tips drill large holes fast with longer life in abrasive materials
  • Cuts only material needed for a quality hole, reducing waste and effort
  • 3/4" Weldon shank fits magnetic drill presses for secure, stable operation
  • Pilot pin included for accurate hole alignment and easier starts
  • California Proposition 65 warning: contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm

1-1/2" Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter

This carbide tipped annular cutter measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter with a 1-3/8 inch depth of cut for fast, efficient hole making. It features a 3/4 inch Weldon shank designed exclusively for magnetic drill presses. The cutter removes only the material necessary to produce a quality hole. A pilot pin is included for proper alignment.

Sustained Cutting in Abrasive Materials

Carbide tips provide longer life and maintain performance in abrasive and harder materials compared to high speed steel cutters. The design reduces the volume of material removed during each pass, lowering the load on the machine during extended operations. This allows consistent drilling speed through tough alloys and thick plate. Heat buildup is managed by the efficient cutting geometry.

Weldon Shank Magnetic Drill Constraint

The 3/4 inch Weldon shank limits use to magnetic drill presses with matching arbors. Standard hand drills, drill presses, and other chuck types cannot secure this shank safely. The cutter geometry requires the rigidity and feed control of a mag drill to prevent tip chipping. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the carbide tipped annular cutter generate during extended cutting sessions?

The carbide tips allow fast drilling of larger diameter holes with longer life and the ability to perform in more abrasive and harder materials than high speed cutters.

What equipment must I already own to use the 3/4" Weldon Shank annular cutter?

A magnetic drill press is required as the cutter has a 3/4" Weldon Shank for use with magnetic drill press only and must not be used with a standard hand drill or drill press.

Will the included pilot pin work with older magnetic drill presses that accept 3/4" Weldon Shank cutters?

The cutter has a 3/4" Weldon Shank for use with magnetic drill press only and a pilot pin is included for operation.
