05E103 - Walter Corecut SST 1-3/16 Inch Annular Cutter for Stainless Steel

Precision Hole Cutting for Tough Materials

The Walter 05E103 Corecut SST Annular Cutter is a premium industrial tool designed to tackle one of the most challenging tasks in metalworking: drilling large diameter holes in stainless steel. Unlike standard twist drills that require massive amounts of torque and axial force to remove all the material from the hole, this annular cutter removes only the periphery of the hole, ejecting the center as a solid slug. This method is significantly more efficient, requiring less power and time to achieve a cleaner result.

Engineered specifically for the MRO and heavy fabrication sectors, the Corecut SST series features advanced metallurgy and cutting geometry tailored for stainless steel applications. Stainless steel is notorious for work-hardening if the cutting tool dwells or generates too much heat. The Walter 05E103 mitigates this risk with a design that promotes rapid chip evacuation and cooler cutting temperatures. This ensures that the structural integrity of the workpiece is maintained while extending the life of the cutter itself.

Universal Compatibility

One of the standout features of this 1-3/16" cutter is its Universal Shank. In a diverse industrial environment, having tooling that fits multiple machines is crucial for productivity. The shank on this model is designed to be compatible with a wide range of magnetic drilling units, including those from major brands like Hougen, Nitto, Jancy, and Alfra. This versatility reduces the need for multiple inventories of drill bits for different machines, streamlining tool crib management.

Operational Efficiency

With a 1-inch depth of cut, this tool is ideal for drilling through plate, pipe, and structural beams commonly found in industrial settings. The precision ground teeth produce a burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for secondary reaming or deburring operations. For maintenance teams and fabricators working with stainless steel tanks, vessels, or structural supports, the Walter Corecut SST offers a reliable, high-performance solution that reduces downtime and increases throughput.
