Drill America nACo Blue cutter
The Drill America ANC5-530-269 is an nACo Nano-Composite coated annular cutter designed for magnetic drill presses. It targets metalworkers who need fast, efficient hole making in steel, cast iron, heated steel and stainless steel. The 3/4" Weldon shank fits most magnetic drill presses, also called mag drills. This accessory is not for users without a magnetic drill press.
3/4" Weldon shank installation
Installation requires inserting the 3/4" Weldon shank into a compatible magnetic drill press chuck and securing the included pilot pin. The tool is for use with magnetic drill presses only; do not use with a standard hand drill or drill press. A common error is attempting to run the cutter in a conventional drill press or hand drill, which will not provide the required rigidity or coolant control.
Annular cutting practical limits
The nACo coating increases tool life up to 30% compared to traditional HSS annular cutters and provides extra protection against wear and high heat. The cutter removes only the necessary material, which speeds the cut and reduces power demand. California Proposition 65 warnings apply: the product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the nACo coating is extending cutter life during use?
Compare the number of holes cut per cutter against your previous uncoated HSS annular cutters; the manufacturer states up to 30% longer tool life.
What comes in the box and what must I supply?
The package includes the 1-3/4" x 2" nACo coated annular cutter with 3/4" Weldon shank and a pilot pin; you must provide a magnetic drill press (mag drill) as it is not compatible with standard hand drills or drill presses.
Which coating variant should I choose for cutting stainless and heated steels?
Select the nACo Nano-Composite Blue coated version (ANC5-530-269) because it is designed for difficult materials including steel, cast iron, heated and stainless steels and provides extra protection against wear and high heat.
