05B401 - Walter Icecut 1-1/16 Inch x 2 Inch Annular Cutter

High-Performance Drilling with Walter Icecut Technology

The Walter 05B401 Icecut Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of core drilling technology for industrial fabrication. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern metalworking, this 1-1/16" diameter cutter features a 2" depth of cut, making it an essential tool for structural steel, stainless steel, and aluminum applications. The defining feature of the Icecut series is its advanced AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike traditional coatings, AICrN is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, forming a protective thermal barrier that prevents the cutter from overheating even during prolonged, high-speed drilling operations.

Precision is paramount in the design of the 05B401. The cutter is manufactured with fully ground, extra-deep flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation. This design minimizes the risk of clogging and reduces the mechanical load on your magnetic drilling unit, ensuring smooth, accurate holes every time. The specialized geometry of the cutting teeth is optimized to cut through tough alloys with less resistance, resulting in a burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for secondary reaming or deburring processes.

Durability and efficiency are at the core of the Walter Icecut's value proposition. By reducing friction and heat buildup, the cutter maintains its hardness and cutting edge for significantly longer than standard high-speed steel (HSS) bits. This longevity translates to reduced downtime for tool changes and lower cost-per-hole for your operation. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop or on a remote job site, the reliability of the Walter Icecut ensures that your project stays on schedule.

Compatible with a wide range of magnetic drilling units via its standard shank design, this cutter is versatile enough for diverse maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) tasks. It excels in drilling through thick plates, pipes, and structural beams where precision and speed are non-negotiable. Trust Walter Surface Technologies to deliver the cutting-edge performance required for professional industrial environments.
