05D510 - Walter 2-5/8 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter 2 Inch Depth

High-Performance Drilling for Industrial Applications

The Walter 05D510 2-5/8" x 2" Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for heavy industrial environments. Designed to tackle the toughest materials found in modern manufacturing and maintenance, this cutter utilizes premium carbide inserts that far outlast traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) alternatives. When faced with abrasive metals like cast iron, or work-hardening materials such as stainless steel, standard bits often fail or overheat. The Walter Carbide Core Cut is engineered specifically to overcome these challenges, delivering precise, burr-free holes with exceptional efficiency.

One of the primary advantages of this annular cutter is its ability to remove material only at the periphery of the hole, ejecting a solid slug upon completion. This method requires significantly less horsepower and physical effort compared to solid twist drills, which must convert the entire volume of the hole into chips. For a large diameter of 2-5/8 inches, this efficiency is critical, allowing magnetic drilling units to operate at optimal speeds without bogging down. The 2-inch depth of cut provides ample capacity for drilling through thick plates, structural beams, and heavy-walled pipe.

The geometry of the 05D510 is meticulously designed to manage heat generation. The exclusive body design and flute configuration promote rapid chip evacuation, preventing heat buildup that can damage the workpiece or the tool. This makes it an ideal choice for sensitive alloys where thermal distortion must be minimized. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop or performing on-site maintenance on large machinery, this cutter ensures consistent performance. It is compatible with a wide range of magnetic drills and is robust enough to handle uneven surfaces, such as the curvature of a pipe or tube, without wandering.

Investing in Walter Carbide Core Cut technology means reducing downtime associated with tool changes and sharpening. The extreme hardness of the carbide tips ensures that the cutter maintains its edge longer, even under aggressive feed rates. For industries dealing with rail steel, structural steel, or complex composites, the 05D510 provides a reliable solution that maximizes productivity and hole quality.
