05B404 - Walter ICECUT 1-1/4 Inch x 2 Inch Depth Annular Cutter AICrN Coated

Advanced Hole Cutting Technology with Walter ICECUT

The Walter 05B404 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in metal drilling technology. Designed for industrial environments where precision, speed, and tool longevity are paramount, this 1-1/4" diameter cutter features a 2" depth of cut, making it versatile for a wide range of structural and fabrication tasks. The core innovation lies in its exclusive coating chemistry. Unlike standard cutters that rely on Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAIN) coatings, the ICECUT utilizes a sophisticated blend of chromium and aluminum (AICrN). This unique composition allows the tool to withstand operating temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher than conventional alternatives, preserving the cutting edge even under extreme thermal stress.

Heat generation is the primary enemy of cutting tool life, particularly when working with tough alloys like stainless steel or when lubrication is limited. The AICrN coating acts as a thermal barrier, minimizing heat transfer to the tool body and reducing friction during the cut. This capability is complemented by the cutter's physical geometry. Walter has engineered this tool with fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation. Efficient chip removal is critical in deep hole drilling (up to 2 inches) to prevent clogging and heat buildup, ensuring a clean, burr-free finish every time.

The 05B404 is not just about durability; it is designed for compatibility and ease of use. It features a universal shank that fits perfectly into a wide array of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines, eliminating the need for specialized adapters. The modern tooth design is optimized to cut through material at the periphery of the hole, requiring less energy and force than solid twist drills. This efficiency translates to faster cycle times and reduced wear on your drilling equipment. Whether you are processing structural steel, aluminum, or challenging stainless steel plates, the Walter ICECUT delivers consistent, high-performance results that industrial professionals demand.
