05H403 - Walter 1-3/16 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Precision Drilling for Industrial Applications

The Walter 05H403 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for heavy-duty industrial environments. Engineered with a 1-3/16 inch diameter and a substantial 2-inch depth of cut, this tool is specifically designed to overcome the challenges associated with machining tough, abrasive materials. Unlike standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters which may dull rapidly or fail under high thermal stress, the Carbide Core Cut series utilizes premium carbide inserts. These inserts provide exceptional hardness and heat resistance, making this cutter the ideal choice for drilling stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard alloys.

Universal Compatibility and Design

One of the standout features of the 05H403 is its Universal Shank. This design consideration ensures that the cutter is compatible with a vast array of magnetic drilling units available on the market today, including major brands like Hougen, Nitto, and Fein. This versatility reduces the need for multiple inventory items and ensures that your workshop is ready for any drilling task. The body of the cutter is crafted with a specialized flute geometry that optimizes chip evacuation. Efficient chip removal is critical when drilling deep holes, as it prevents heat buildup and reduces the risk of the cutter binding in the workpiece, thereby extending the tool's lifespan and ensuring hole accuracy.

Performance on Tough Materials

Industrial fabrication often involves working with materials that are notoriously difficult to drill. The Walter Carbide Core Cut excels in these scenarios. Whether you are working on structural steel rails, large cast iron components, or stainless steel piping, this annular cutter delivers consistent, burr-free holes. The carbide tips allow for higher speed and feed rates compared to traditional tooling, significantly improving productivity. Furthermore, the robust construction of the cutter makes it suitable for drilling into uneven or curved surfaces, a common requirement in on-site maintenance and repair operations. By investing in Walter's carbide technology, operators can expect reduced downtime for tool changes and a lower cost per hole over the life of the product.

Optimized for Efficiency

Efficiency in metalworking is not just about speed; it is about precision and reliability. The 05H403 requires less energy and feed pressure to penetrate the material, reducing operator fatigue and wear on the magnetic drill motor. This balance of aggressiveness and smooth operation ensures that every hole is cut to tolerance with a superior surface finish. For professionals demanding the best in hole-making technology, the Walter Carbide Core Cut series offers a solution that combines durability, versatility, and high-performance output.
