OVERVIEW

High-Performance Carbide Drilling Solution

The Walter 05F238 Carbide Core Cut is a premium 38mm annular cutter engineered to tackle the toughest industrial drilling challenges. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, this tool bridges the gap between standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters and the demands of modern hard metals. With a cutting depth of 55mm, it is perfectly suited for drilling through thick plates, pipes, and structural components found in heavy manufacturing and maintenance operations.

What sets this cutter apart is its specialized carbide inserts. Unlike standard steel cutters that dull quickly on abrasive materials, the Carbide Core Cut excels in stainless steel, cast iron, and hard alloys. The robust body design minimizes vibration, ensuring precise, burr-free holes even when entering curved or uneven surfaces. This stability is crucial for maintaining tolerance and reducing the need for secondary finishing operations.

Industrial professionals rely on the Walter 05F238 for its efficiency. The advanced flute geometry promotes rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup that can compromise tool life. By allowing for higher feed rates and rotational speeds, this cutter significantly reduces cycle times, translating to increased productivity on the shop floor. Whether used in a fabrication shop or on a remote job site, this tool delivers consistent, high-quality results.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Extended Tool Life: Carbide tips resist wear significantly better than HSS, reducing tool changeovers.
  • Versatile Application: Effective on a wide range of materials including aluminum, copper, brass, and exotic alloys.
  • Precision Engineering: Drills accurate, round holes with minimal effort required from the magnetic drill unit.

FAQ

It is specifically designed for hard and abrasive materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, tough alloys, and composites, but also works well on aluminum and carbon steel.

This specific model has a cutting depth of 55mm (approximately 2-3/16 inches).

No, annular cutters like this are designed for use with magnetic drilling units or stationary drill presses with the appropriate arbor.

Yes, using appropriate cutting lubricant or coolant is highly recommended to extend tool life and ensure a smooth cut, especially on stainless steel.

Carbide cutters are much harder than HSS, allowing them to cut harder materials, run at higher speeds, and last significantly longer.

Yes, the body design and carbide inserts make it ideal for starting holes on curved or uneven surfaces where other bits might wander.

This tool creates a 38mm diameter hole.

While carbide tips are extremely durable, they can be difficult to resharpen compared to HSS. It is often more cost-effective to replace them once the carbide is exhausted or damaged.
