1-1/2 Inch Annular Cutter

The Drill America DWC5-530-257 is a high-speed steel annular cutter with a 1-1/2 inch diameter and 2 inch depth of cut. It features a 3/4 inch Weldon shank for use exclusively with magnetic drill presses. This tool is designed for metal fabrication professionals and maintenance technicians who need fast, efficient hole making in structural steel and plate.

Cuts Only the Hole Perimeter

The annular design removes only the material at the hole perimeter, leaving a solid slug and reducing power consumption compared to twist drills. High-speed steel construction provides a balance of hardness and toughness for general-purpose wear resistance. The cutter is not suitable for hand drills, standard drill presses, or materials requiring carbide tooling for extended life.

Requires Magnetic Drill Press

A magnetic drill press with a 3/4 inch Weldon shank arbor is mandatory for operation; the cutter will not fit or function in conventional chucks. The included pilot pin centres the cut and ejects the slug automatically during the stroke. Users without a mag drill or those needing to drill non-ferrous metals without a magnetic base must select a different tooling system.

Questions about this item

Will the 3/4" Weldon shank fit my existing magnetic drill press?

The cutter uses a 3/4" Weldon shank, which is the standard interface for magnetic drill presses; it will not work in a standard hand drill or conventional drill press.

How can I confirm the annular cutter is cutting correctly once installed?

A properly functioning cutter produces a clean, burr-free hole and ejects a solid slug rather than fine chips, indicating the high-speed steel teeth are shearing material efficiently.

Does the DWC5-530-257 package include the pilot pin or must I order it separately?

The product title confirms the pilot pin is included with the annular cutter, so no separate purchase is required for standard operation.
