05F406 - Walter ICECUT 1-3/8 Inch x 2 Inch Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Metallurgy for Precision Drilling

The Walter 05F406 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in magnetic drilling technology, specifically engineered for industrial environments where efficiency and tool longevity are paramount. At the core of this cutter's performance is its exclusive AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN blend is designed to withstand extreme thermal stress, maintaining hardness and cutting edge integrity at temperatures up to 200°C higher than its predecessors. This tribological advantage makes the ICECUT series particularly effective when drilling abrasive and work-hardening materials such as stainless steel and structural aluminum.

The 1-3/8" diameter and 2" depth of cut provide substantial capacity for heavy fabrication tasks. The cutter features a sophisticated tooth geometry and fully ground extra-large flutes. This design is critical for deep hole drilling, as it ensures rapid chip evacuation, preventing heat buildup and reducing the likelihood of binding or breakage. The reduction in friction not only preserves the tool but also improves the surface finish of the hole, often eliminating the need for secondary reaming or deburring operations.

Versatility is built into the 05F406 with its Universal Shank design. This feature allows the cutter to be utilized across a broad spectrum of magnetic drilling units without the need for specialized adapters, streamlining inventory for shops that utilize multiple machine brands. Whether applied in high-volume production environments or specialized maintenance operations, the ICECUT annular cutter delivers consistent, high-precision results. Its ability to perform under heavy loads and resist instant impact makes it a reliable choice for structural steel erection and heavy equipment manufacturing.

By integrating state-of-the-art coating technology with precision grinding, Walter has created a tool that reduces downtime associated with tool changes and increases overall productivity. The ICECUT is the professional's choice for clean, accurate holes in the most demanding metalworking applications.
