05F224 - Walter 24mm Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter 55mm Depth

Precision Drilling for Hardened Materials

The Walter 05F224 Carbide Core Cut is a premier 24mm annular cutter engineered specifically to address the challenges of drilling through tough, abrasive, and work-hardening materials. In industrial MRO and fabrication environments, standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters often fail when confronted with stainless steel, cast iron, or exotic alloys. This Walter cutter utilizes high-grade tungsten carbide tips (TCT) which provide exceptional hardness and heat resistance, allowing for extended tool life and consistent performance where other bits would dull or burn out rapidly.

The technical superiority of this cutter lies in its advanced body and flute design. Efficient chip evacuation is critical in deep-hole drilling to prevent heat buildup and binding. The 05F224 features a geometry that actively clears debris from the cut zone, reducing thermal stress on both the tool and the workpiece. This is particularly important when machining stainless steel, as excessive heat can cause the material to work-harden, making further drilling nearly impossible. With a 55mm depth of cut, this tool is perfectly suited for penetrating thick structural beams, heavy equipment frames, and multi-layered assemblies.

Furthermore, the carbide inserts allow for significantly higher speed and feed rates, directly translating to improved productivity. The precision-ground cutting edges ensure accurate hole tolerances, often eliminating the need for secondary reaming or finishing operations. For facility managers and procurement specialists, investing in Walter Carbide Core Cut technology means reduced machine downtime for tool changes and a lower cost-per-hole in demanding applications. The cutter is designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use while delivering the reliability required for critical maintenance and fabrication tasks.
