Annular cutter for magnetic drills
The Drill America DWC5-530-175 is a high-speed steel annular cutter sized at 1-7/8" with a 1" depth of cut and a 3/4" Weldon shank. It is designed for magnetic drill presses only and will not work in a standard hand drill or conventional drill press. A pilot pin is included to align the cut and eject the slug.
Heat, noise and power draw
Cutting only the perimeter of the hole reduces the material removed, which lowers cutting force and heat buildup compared with a solid twist drill of the same diameter. The high-speed steel body provides a balance of hardness and toughness for wear resistance during general-purpose use. Noise and power consumption depend on the magnetic drill press and the workpiece material.
3/4" Weldon shank requirement
This cutter fits magnetic drill presses that accept a 3/4" Weldon shank. It is not compatible with standard drill chucks or other shank types. Buyers who need a cutter for a hand drill, a drill press without a Weldon adapter, or a different shank size should select another product.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the 3/4" Weldon shank into my magnetic drill press, and what step do people often skip?
Insert the shank fully into the press arbor and tighten the set screws; the step often skipped is inserting the supplied pilot pin so the cutter centres itself before cutting.
What part will wear out first and need replacing on the DWC5-530-175?
The high-speed steel cutting edges dull with use; when feed pressure rises or hole quality drops, replace the entire annular cutter.
What limit appears first during prolonged cutting with this HSS annular cutter?
Heat buildup at the cutting edges reduces hardness and accelerates wear, so cutting speed must be lowered or coolant applied to continue.
