OVERVIEW

Precision Drilling for Hardened Materials

The Walter 05F138 Carbide Core Cut annular cutter represents the forefront of magnetic drilling technology, specifically engineered to tackle the most challenging industrial materials. With a diameter of 38mm and a cutting depth of 30mm, this tool is designed to perform where traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters fail. The integration of premium carbide tips allows this cutter to penetrate extremely hard materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and exotic alloys with remarkable efficiency and speed.

One of the defining characteristics of the Carbide Core Cut series is its sophisticated flute and body geometry. This design is not merely for aesthetics; it plays a critical role in thermal management and chip evacuation. By effectively clearing debris from the cutting path, the tool maintains a cooler operating temperature, which preserves the integrity of both the cutter and the workpiece. This is particularly crucial when working with heat-sensitive materials or when drilling deep holes where chip packing can lead to catastrophic tool failure.

Industrial operators will appreciate the consistency and longevity provided by the Walter 05F138. The carbide inserts are formulated to resist wear and maintain a sharp cutting edge far longer than standard materials. This durability translates directly to operational savings, as fewer tool changes are required during large-scale fabrication projects. Whether utilized in a workshop setting or on-site for structural repairs, this cutter delivers precise, burr-free holes with minimal axial force, reducing wear on the magnetic drilling unit itself.

Furthermore, the cutter is optimized to handle uneven surfaces and interrupted cuts, scenarios that often cause breakage in lesser tools. The robust construction ensures stability and accuracy, making it an indispensable asset for heavy machinery maintenance, rail fabrication, and structural steel applications requiring large diameter holes in tough substrates.

FAQ

This specific cutter (SKU 05F138) has a diameter of 38mm and a maximum cutting depth of 30mm.

Yes, the Walter Carbide Core Cut is specifically designed for hard materials, including stainless steel, cast iron, and tough alloys.

Yes, a pilot pin is required to center the cutter and to eject the slug after drilling. It also helps control coolant flow.

Yes, it is designed for use with magnetic drilling units. Ensure your drill accepts the shank style (typically Weldon) and has the power for a 38mm bit.

Carbide is significantly harder and more heat-resistant than High-Speed Steel (HSS), allowing for faster cutting speeds and longer tool life, especially in hard metals.

Absolutely. Using a high-quality cutting lubricant or coolant will extend the life of the carbide tips and ensure a smoother cut.

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

RPM depends on the material being cut. Generally, carbide cutters can run at higher speeds than HSS, but always refer to the manufacturer's speed chart for 38mm bits in your specific material.
