05H400 - Walter 1-Inch Carbide Annular Cutter 2-Inch Depth Universal Shank

High-Performance Carbide Drilling Solution

The Walter 05H400 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of hole-making technology for industrial applications involving hard and abrasive materials. Engineered with premium tungsten carbide tips, this 1-inch diameter cutter is specifically designed to overcome the limitations of traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) bits. In environments where stainless steel, cast iron, and resilient alloys are commonplace, standard tooling often suffers from rapid wear and thermal failure. The Carbide Core Cut series addresses this by maintaining superior hardness at high temperatures, allowing for significantly increased speed and feed rates without compromising tool life.

Optimized Geometry for Deep Drilling

With a cutting depth of 2 inches, this tool is perfectly suited for penetrating thick structural plates, heavy-wall pipe, and castings. The cutter features an innovative flute and body design that serves two critical functions: structural rigidity and efficient chip evacuation. As the cutter penetrates deep into the workpiece, the specialized flutes rapidly channel chips away from the cutting interface, preventing clogging and heat buildup. This results in a cleaner, burr-free hole that often requires no secondary finishing operations, thereby streamlining the fabrication workflow.

Universal Compatibility and Efficiency

The 05H400 is equipped with a Universal Shank, making it compatible with a vast array of magnetic drilling units available in the market, including those utilizing Weldon and Nitto systems. This versatility ensures that the cutter can be integrated into existing tooling inventories without the need for specialized adapters. By removing material only at the periphery of the hole and ejecting a solid slug, this annular cutter requires less energy and thrust than solid twist drills, reducing wear on the drilling machine motor and minimizing operator fatigue during manual feed operations.

Industrial Applications

This cutter is the tool of choice for MRO professionals and fabricators working with challenging substrates. Whether drilling on-site for structural repairs or in a production environment processing high-tensile steels, the Walter Carbide Core Cut delivers consistent, precise results. It is particularly effective on uneven or curved surfaces where traditional bits might wander, ensuring accuracy from the moment of contact.
