05D106 - Walter 05-D-106 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter, 1-3/8 in x 1-1/2 in

Precision Drilling for Hardened Metals

The Walter 05D106 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial fabrication. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 1-3/8 inch diameter cutter is specifically designed to overcome the challenges associated with machining tough, abrasive materials. Unlike standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters that can dull rapidly when facing stainless steel or cast iron, this tool utilizes premium tungsten carbide inserts. These inserts maintain their cutting edge under high thermal stress, ensuring consistent performance and hole accuracy over a significantly longer lifespan.

Industrial professionals rely on the Carbide Core Cut series for its ability to handle complex drilling scenarios. Whether you are working on structural steel, rail, or heavy equipment repair, the 05D106 delivers clean, burr-free holes with a depth capacity of 1-1/2 inches. The cutter features an advanced body and flute design that optimizes chip evacuation. This is critical when drilling deep holes in hard alloys, as efficient chip removal prevents binding and reduces heat generation, protecting both the tool and the workpiece.

One of the standout features of this annular cutter is its stability on uneven surfaces. Drilling into curved pipes or textured castings can often lead to tool wandering or breakage with inferior bits. The Walter Carbide Core Cut is engineered to bite immediately and track true, making it an indispensable asset for on-site maintenance and fabrication shops alike. Compatible with standard magnetic drilling units, this cutter allows operators to increase feed rates while reducing physical exertion, ultimately boosting productivity in demanding environments.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Extended Tool Life: Carbide tips resist wear and heat, lasting far longer than HSS in abrasive applications.
• High-Speed Performance: Allows for faster rotational speeds and feed rates, reducing cycle times.
• Versatile Application: Excellent for stainless steel, varying grades of cast iron, and exotic alloys.
