Default 40 mm hole saw in a drill press for cutting aluminum?

I have one regular and one heavy-duty "flying parts" or whatever
they are called hole cutters. The heavy duty is too big to cut a 40

I'd rather try something like this...

Can you tell what sort of shank it has? I doubt square will work.
Round might work. I would prefer hex.

Any suggestions for a 40 mm aluminum hole saw, to be stuck in a
drill press?

Thanks.


I have a couple sets of these. What you are looking for is an Annular
Cutter:

Dont bother trying to use these with a hand drill. A mill or good
solid drill press. Not! a Harbor Freight caca one either.

Ive used these to punch a hole in 1.5" 4130 plate in just a couple
minutes.
