1-7/16" HSS Annular Cutter for Magnetic Drill

The Drill America DWC5-530-354 is a high-speed steel annular cutter built for magnetic drill presses with a 3/4" Weldon shank. It cuts only the material needed to form the hole, reducing waste and cutting time. This tool suits metal fabrication shops and maintenance crews who need fast, accurate holes in structural steel. It is not intended for hand drills or conventional drill presses.

Replaces twist drills

Switching to this annular cutter is worthwhile when you need clean, burr-free holes in thick plate without the torque reaction of a solid drill. The cutter removes a narrow ring of material, so the machine works less hard and the hole finishes closer to size. It will not help if your workflow requires drilling in non-magnetic materials or on job sites without a mag drill.

Weldon shank installs directly into compatible mag

Insert the 3/4" shank into the magnetic drill press arbor and secure the retaining pin; no adapters are required. The included pilot pin centres the cut and ejects the slug automatically. Problems usually arise when the cutter is run in a standard chuck or at incorrect speeds, which can snap the shank or burn the teeth. Always verify the press accepts a 3/4" Weldon shank before starting.
