OVERVIEW

High-Performance Carbide Drilling Solution

The Walter 05D720 Carbide Core Cut is a premium annular cutter engineered for the most demanding industrial drilling applications. Featuring a substantial 2-1/4 inch diameter and a 3-inch depth of cut, this tool is designed to penetrate thick, hard materials with precision and efficiency. Unlike traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters, the Core Cut series utilizes high-quality tungsten carbide inserts. These inserts are brazed onto the cutter body, providing exceptional hardness and heat resistance. This construction allows for significantly higher surface feet per minute (SFM) and feed rates, reducing cycle times in production environments.

The geometry of the Walter Carbide Core Cut is optimized for difficult-to-machine materials. The specialized flute design aids in rapid chip evacuation, preventing heat buildup and binding deep in the cut. This is particularly critical when drilling stainless steel, cast iron, and other tough alloys where work-hardening can occur. The cutter's body is robust, minimizing vibration and ensuring hole accuracy. For MRO professionals and machinists, this tool represents a reliable solution for drilling large diameter holes in structural steel, rail, and heavy equipment components without the need for massive horsepower or multi-step drilling processes.

Compatibility is key in industrial settings, and this cutter is designed to work seamlessly with standard magnetic drilling units. The carbide tips not only extend the lifespan of the tool but also maintain their cutting edge longer than HSS equivalents, ensuring consistent hole quality over hundreds of cuts. Whether used for on-site repairs or in a fabrication shop, the 05D720 delivers the aggressive performance required for modern metalworking challenges.

FAQ

The Walter 05D720 has a cutting depth of 3 inches.

Yes, the carbide tips are specifically designed to handle hard materials like stainless steel and cast iron effectively.

Yes, a pilot pin is required to center the cut and to eject the slug after drilling is complete.

Yes, it is designed for use with magnetic drilling units, typically using a standard Weldon shank.

Carbide is much harder and more heat-resistant than HSS, allowing for faster cutting speeds and longer tool life, especially in hard metals.

While technically possible with specialized equipment, carbide-tipped cutters are generally considered consumable items once the tips are worn or damaged.

Carbide cutters generally run at higher RPMs than HSS. Refer to the Walter speed chart for the specific material you are drilling.

Yes, the body design and carbide inserts make it suitable for drilling on curved or uneven surfaces where HSS might struggle.
