05D104 - Walter 05-D-104 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter 1-1/4 in x 1-1/2 in Depth

Walter 05D104 Carbide Core Cut: The Industrial Standard for Tough Drilling

The Walter 05D104 Carbide Core Cut annular cutter represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial maintenance, repair, and fabrication operations. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing, this 1-1/4 inch diameter cutter features a 1-1/2 inch depth of cut, making it a versatile tool for structural steel, heavy machinery repair, and pipeline applications. Unlike traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters, the Carbide Core Cut series is engineered with premium tungsten carbide tips. This material choice provides exceptional hardness and heat resistance, allowing the tool to maintain its cutting edge even when drilling through abrasive and work-hardening materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and high-tensile alloys.

Efficiency is at the core of the Walter 05D104's design. The cutter utilizes a sophisticated flute geometry that optimizes chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup that can lead to premature tool failure. This design allows for higher feed rates and rotational speeds, significantly reducing cycle times in production environments. For facility managers and procurement specialists, this translates to lower cost-per-hole and reduced downtime associated with tool changes. The cutter's ability to handle uneven surfaces and interrupted cuts further enhances its utility in MRO scenarios where material conditions are rarely perfect.

Furthermore, the Walter Carbide Core Cut is compatible with standard magnetic drilling units, ensuring seamless integration into existing tool inventories. The precision-ground shank ensures a secure fit, minimizing runout and vibration, which is critical for maintaining hole tolerance and surface finish. By choosing the Walter 05D104, industrial buyers are investing in a tool that delivers consistent, high-quality performance, reducing the need for secondary finishing operations like reaming or deburring. Whether utilized in a fabrication shop or out in the field, this annular cutter stands as a reliable solution for the most challenging drilling tasks.

Ultimately, the longevity of the carbide inserts means fewer replacements and less inventory management overhead. In the competitive landscape of industrial supply, the Walter 05D104 offers a tangible return on investment through durability, speed, and precision.
