SKU CH-FYG8-VN0FN

High-speed steel annular cutter with pilot pin cuts clean holes using a magnetic drill press only

  • HSS construction resists wear for longer tool life
  • 3/4" Weldon shank fits magnetic drill presses directly
  • Cuts only necessary material for faster hole making
  • High-speed steel balances hardness and toughness for general use
  • Pilot pin included for accurate cutter alignment

1-5/8" HSS annular cutter for magnetic drills

The Drill America DWC5-530-263 annular cutter is built from high-speed steel for general-purpose hole making. It cuts only the material at the hole perimeter, producing a solid slug instead of grinding out the full diameter. A pilot pin is included to align the cut and eject the slug automatically. This cutter fits magnetic drill presses with a 3/4" Weldon shank.

Sustained cutting in structural steel

High-speed steel provides a balance of hardness and toughness that resists wear during extended cuts in plate or beam. Because the tool removes a narrow ring of material, it demands less power and generates less heat than a solid twist drill of the same diameter. The geometry is intended for use with magnetic-base machines that supply steady feed pressure and coolant flow.

Verify Weldon shank fit and machine type

Confirm that your magnetic drill press accepts a 3/4" Weldon shank before ordering. This cutter will not function in a standard hand drill, benchtop drill press or any chuck without the Weldon flat. Check also that your workpiece material and thickness fall within the cutter's 2" depth of cut. California Proposition 65 warnings apply.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1-5/8" HSS annular cutter generate when running all day in a mag drill?

High-speed steel retains hardness at elevated temperatures, so the cutter stays sharp during extended cuts in steel plate without overheating the workpiece or the mag drill motor.

What shank interface must my magnetic drill press have to accept the 3/4" Weldon shank on this cutter?

The cutter requires a magnetic drill press with a 3/4" Weldon shank receiver; it will not fit a standard drill press or hand drill chuck.

Will the included pilot pin work with my existing Drill America cutters that use the same 3/4" Weldon mount?

Yes, the pilot pin is compatible with other Drill America annular cutters that share the 3/4" Weldon shank, ensuring consistent centering across the range.
