1-7/16" HSS annular cutter with pilot pin

The Drill America DWC5-530-254 is a high-speed steel annular cutter designed for fast, efficient hole making. It cuts only the material necessary to produce a quality hole. The tool features a 3/4" Weldon shank for use with magnetic drill presses only. It is not suitable for standard hand drills or drill presses.

Sustained cutting in magnetic drill applications

High-speed steel construction provides a combination of hardness and toughness for wear resistance during extended use. The annular design reduces the volume of material removed compared to twist drills, lowering power demand and heat buildup. This geometry supports consistent performance through the full 2" depth of cut. The included pilot pin aids slug ejection for continuous operation.

Compatibility check before ordering

Verify that your magnetic drill press accepts a 3/4" Weldon shank before purchasing. This cutter will not function in a standard hand drill or conventional drill press. Ensure the workpiece material suits high-speed steel tooling. Note the California Proposition 65 warnings regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

Does the 3/4" Weldon shank generate noticeable vibration or heat during extended magnetic-press operation?

The cutter is designed for fast, efficient hole making on a magnetic drill press; the high-speed steel construction balances hardness and toughness to resist wear during continuous use.

Must I already own a magnetic drill press with a 3/4" Weldon arbor to use this annular cutter?

Yes — the 3/4" Weldon shank fits only a magnetic drill press and cannot be used with a standard hand drill or conventional drill press.

Will this 1-7/16" x 2" HSS cutter work reliably on the older magnetic base unit I have kept in the shop?

The cutter requires a magnetic drill press that accepts a 3/4" Weldon shank; any older unit with that interface will drive it correctly.
