05H008 - Walter Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter 1/2" x 1" Universal Shank

High-Performance Drilling for Tough Alloys

The Walter 05H008 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter is engineered to solve the most challenging drilling applications in the industrial sector. Designed with a 1/2-inch diameter and a 1-inch depth of cut, this tool represents the pinnacle of core drilling technology. Unlike traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters, the Carbide Core Cut series utilizes premium carbide inserts that are specifically formulated to withstand the extreme heat and abrasion generated when drilling hard materials. This makes it the ideal choice for fabricating with stainless steel, cast iron, and other high-tensile alloys where standard bits often fail or dull prematurely.

Advanced Geometry and Universal Fit

Walter has integrated a sophisticated flute and body design into this cutter to ensure maximum efficiency. The geometry promotes rapid chip evacuation, reducing the likelihood of clogging and heat buildup, which are critical factors in maintaining tool life and hole precision. The 05H008 features a Universal Shank, making it highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of magnetic drilling units, including those with Weldon or Nitto style arbors. This universality ensures that workshops can standardize on high-performance tooling without worrying about machine compatibility issues.

Precision and Durability

Accuracy is paramount in metal fabrication, and the Walter Carbide Core Cut delivers precise, burr-free holes with minimal effort. The rigidity of the carbide tips allows for higher feed rates, significantly reducing cycle times on production runs. Furthermore, the robust construction of the cutter body ensures stability even when drilling into uneven or curved surfaces, such as pipes or structural beams. Whether used for on-site repairs or in a controlled manufacturing environment, this cutter provides consistent, high-quality results.

Recommended Applications

This tool is specifically recommended for heavy-duty applications involving:

• Stainless steel fabrication
• Cast iron components
• Hardened carbon steels
• Rail steel and structural alloys
• Composite materials requiring clean entry and exit holes

By investing in Walter's carbide technology, operators can expect a significant reduction in cost-per-hole due to the extended lifespan of the cutter and the reduced downtime associated with tool changes.
