05F229 - Walter 29mm Carbide Annular Cutter 55mm Depth

High-Performance Carbide Drilling Solution

The Walter 05F229 29mm x 55mm Carbide Core Cut is a premier tooling solution designed for industrial environments where precision, speed, and durability are paramount. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this annular cutter utilizes high-grade tungsten carbide tips to deliver exceptional cutting performance in the most challenging materials. Unlike standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters, the Carbide Core Cut series is specifically formulated to withstand the high temperatures and abrasive nature of machining stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard alloys.

With a diameter of 29mm and a substantial depth of cut of 55mm, this tool is perfectly suited for drilling through thick structural plates, heavy-wall pipe, and stacked laminations. The advanced body design features specialized flutes that rapidly evacuate chips, preventing heat buildup and ensuring a clean, burr-free finish. This thermal management is critical when drilling work-hardening materials like stainless steel, allowing the cutter to maintain its edge significantly longer than conventional alternatives. The result is a drastic reduction in tool changeovers and downtime, directly contributing to operational efficiency.

The geometric precision of the Walter Carbide Core Cut ensures that holes are drilled to exact tolerances, which is essential for critical bolting applications and mechanical assemblies. Its robust construction also allows it to handle higher feed rates and speeds, maximizing the potential of modern magnetic drilling units. Whether utilized in a fabrication shop or a manufacturing plant, the 05F229 represents a strategic investment in productivity, offering a lower cost per hole through its extended service life and superior reliability.

Furthermore, the cutter's design accommodates drilling on uneven or curved surfaces, a common challenge in industrial MRO. By minimizing vibration and chatter, it protects both the machine gearbox and the workpiece integrity. For facility managers and procurement specialists seeking to optimize their tooling inventory for hard metal applications, the Walter Carbide Core Cut stands out as the industry standard for performance and quality.
