05F401 - Walter Icecut 1-1/16 Inch x 2 Inch Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Hole Cutting Technology for Industrial Applications

The Walter 05F401 Icecut Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in magnetic drilling technology. Designed for heavy-duty industrial environments, this 1-1/16" diameter cutter features a 2" depth of cut and utilizes a state-of-the-art Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating. This proprietary coating is engineered to withstand extreme thermal stress, maintaining hardness and cutting edge integrity at temperatures up to 200°C higher than conventional Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coatings. This thermal stability makes the Icecut series particularly effective in applications where liquid coolants are impractical or prohibited, ensuring consistent performance even under dry cutting conditions.

Beyond its thermal properties, the Icecut cutter is constructed with fully ground, extra-large flutes. This design feature is critical for deep hole drilling, as it facilitates rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup that can lead to premature tool failure. The modern tooth geometry is optimized to reduce vibration and chatter, resulting in precise, burr-free holes that require little to no secondary finishing. The cutter's substrate is formulated to resist shock and impact, making it durable enough to handle the rigors of structural steel fabrication and on-site construction tasks.

Versatility is a core component of the 05F401's design. It features a universal shank that ensures compatibility with a wide range of magnetic drilling units and stationary drill presses. Whether working with mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this cutter delivers reliable, high-speed performance. For MRO professionals and fabrication shops looking to maximize productivity and reduce tooling costs through extended lifespan, the Walter Icecut series offers a superior solution for large diameter hole creation.
