05H405 - Walter 1-5/16 Inch Carbide Annular Cutter 2 Inch Depth Universal Shank

Heavy-Duty Drilling Solution for Industrial Applications

The Walter 05H405 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter is a premier tooling solution designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Engineered with high-grade tungsten carbide inserts, this 1-5/16" diameter cutter is specifically built to tackle tough, abrasive materials that typically degrade standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) bits. Whether you are processing stainless steel, cast iron, or specialized hard alloys, this cutter delivers consistent, precise holes with a 2-inch depth of cut, making it an essential asset for heavy fabrication, rail maintenance, and structural steel projects.

One of the standout features of the Walter Carbide Core Cut series is its advanced geometry. The specialized flute and body design optimize chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup even during deep drilling operations. This thermal management is critical when working with work-hardening materials like stainless steel, ensuring the tool maintains its temper and cutting edge for longer periods. The universal shank design further enhances its utility, allowing seamless integration with a vast array of magnetic drilling units commonly found in MRO shops and on construction sites.

Beyond material compatibility, this cutter excels in versatility. It is uniquely capable of initiating cuts on uneven, curved, or angled surfaces without the "walking" often associated with twist drills. This precision reduces the need for pilot holes or extensive surface preparation, streamlining your workflow. For industrial professionals seeking reliability and efficiency, the Walter 05H405 offers a significant upgrade in performance, reducing tool changeovers and increasing overall productivity in the shop or field.

Key Industrial Benefits
