Drill America ANC5-530-254 1-7/16" X 2" nACo Blue pneumatic accessory
Nano-composite coated annular cutter drills steel and stainless steel with 30% longer life than traditional HSS cutters
- nACo Nano-Composite coating extends tool life up to 30%
- Cuts steel, cast iron, heated and stainless steels efficiently
- M2 High Speed Steel removes only necessary material for quality holes
- 3/4" Weldon Shank fits most magnetic drill presses
- Includes pilot pin for immediate use
Purpose and user
This annular cutter is built for fabricators who use magnetic drill presses to produce clean holes in steel, cast iron, heated steel and stainless steel. The 3/4-inch Weldon shank fits most mag-drill machines, so the tool is ready for shop or field work without an adapter.
What the coating changes
The nACo nano-composite blue coating extends cutter life by up to 30 percent compared with uncoated high-speed steel, reducing the frequency of tool changes. It also adds a heat-resistant barrier that helps the cutting edges stay sharp when drilling difficult alloys at higher speeds.
Shank and machine limits
The 3/4-inch Weldon shank only fits magnetic drill presses; the cutter must not be used in a standard hand drill or conventional drill press. A pilot pin is included to align the cut, but the tool has no provision for coolant delivery beyond what the mag-drill supplies.

Questions about this item
How often will the pilot pin need replacing on the ANC5-530-254?
The cutter includes a pilot pin; replace it when the tip wears enough to affect centring on the 3/4" Weldon Shank.
What limits continuous cutting with the nACo coated annular cutter?
Heat buildup in the workpiece is the first limit; the coating resists wear up to 30% longer than uncoated HSS.
How hot does the 1-7/16" X 2" cutter get during all-day magnetic drilling?
The nACo Nano-Composite coating reduces cutting temperature, but the tool still runs hot in stainless or heated steel.
