1/2" nACo Annular Cutter for Mag Drills
This 1/2-inch annular cutter carries a blue nACo nano-composite coating that extends tool life up to 30 percent over traditional high-speed steel cutters. It cuts steel, cast iron, heated steel and stainless steel efficiently by removing only the necessary material. The 3/4-inch Weldon shank fits most magnetic drill presses, also known as mag drills. A pilot pin is included in the package.
Installation and Common Mistakes
Insert the Weldon shank fully into the magnetic drill press chuck and secure the set screws before starting the cut. The cutter is designed exclusively for magnetic drill presses; using it in a standard hand drill or conventional drill press will cause poor performance and rapid wear. Ensure the pilot pin is seated correctly so the slug ejects cleanly after each hole. Misalignment or insufficient coolant are the main reasons for premature dulling.
Check Your Setup Before Ordering
Verify that your magnetic drill press accepts a 3/4-inch Weldon shank and that its stroke length accommodates a 2-inch depth of cut. Confirm the workpiece material is within the listed range of steel, cast iron, heated steel or stainless steel. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so follow appropriate safety procedures. Do not purchase if you only have a standard drill or drill press.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the cutter is performing as intended after installation?
The nACo Nano-Composite Blue coating should show reduced wear and the tool should cut difficult materials such as steel, cast iron and stainless steel cleanly while removing only the necessary material for fast, efficient hole making.
What comes in the package and what must be purchased separately?
The cutter includes a pilot pin; a magnetic drill press is required and is not included.
Which version of this annular cutter should I select for my application?
Choose the 1/2" x 2" nACo coated model with 3/4" Weldon shank when you need extended life and heat resistance for hard materials on a magnetic drill press.
