Drill America 13/16" nACo Cutter
The Drill America ANC5-530-224 is a 13/16-inch annular cutter with a nano-composite blue coating designed for magnetic drill presses. It targets metalworkers who need efficient hole-making in steel, cast iron, heated steel, and stainless steel using a mag drill with a 3/4-inch Weldon shank. It is not for operators who only have a standard hand drill or conventional drill press.
Coating reduces wear and heat
The nACo nano-composite coating increases tool life up to 30 percent compared to traditional high-speed steel annular cutters while providing extra protection against wear and high heat during cutting. The M2 high-speed steel construction removes only the necessary material for fast, efficient, quality holes. No thermals, noise, or power draw figures are provided for this accessory.
Pilot pin included for alignment
The cutter ships with a pilot pin that ensures accurate hole alignment and slug ejection during magnetic drilling operations. This accessory is intended strictly for magnetic drill presses and cannot be used with handheld drills or standard drill presses. Buyers who need a cutter for non-magnetic drilling setups will require a different tool.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 13/16" nACo annular cutter in my magnetic drill press, and what step is often missed?
Insert the 3/4" Weldon shank fully into the mag drill arbor, then secure the included pilot pin so it protrudes past the cutting edges; forgetting the pin causes the cutter to wander.
What maintenance or replacement will the nACo coated cutter need after extended use?
The nACo Nano-Composite coating extends life up to 30% versus uncoated HSS, but once the cutting edges dull the cutter must be replaced; resharpening removes the coating and is not recommended.
What limit appears first when cutting thick stainless steel with this 2" depth cutter?
The 2" maximum depth of cut is reached before the tool wears out; ensure the workpiece thickness does not exceed this limit or the pilot pin will bottom out and stop the cut.
