OVERVIEW

High-Performance Drilling for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter 05F131 31mm x 30mm Carbide Core Cut is an industrial-grade annular cutter engineered to solve the challenges of drilling large diameter holes in difficult materials. Unlike standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters that can dull rapidly when facing abrasive or hardened metals, this cutter utilizes premium tungsten carbide tips. These inserts are brazed onto a robust alloy body, allowing the tool to withstand the high thermal and mechanical stresses generated during heavy-duty drilling operations. This makes it an essential tool for fabrication shops dealing with stainless steel, cast iron, and other tough alloys where precision and tool longevity are paramount.

Efficiency is critical in production environments, and the Walter Carbide Core Cut delivers by permitting higher feed rates and rotational speeds. The specialized flute design promotes aggressive cutting action while effectively evacuating chips, preventing clogging and heat accumulation that can compromise hole quality. This 31mm diameter cutter features a 30mm depth of cut, making it versatile for drilling through plate steel, structural beams, and pipe walls. Its compatibility with standard magnetic drilling units ensures it integrates seamlessly into existing equipment setups, providing a reliable solution for both shop floor and on-site maintenance tasks.

Beyond speed, the quality of the finish is a significant advantage. The precision-ground carbide teeth produce clean, burr-free holes that often eliminate the need for secondary reaming or deburring processes. This "one-pass" capability reduces labor costs and cycle times. Whether you are drilling into flat plate or uneven surfaces, the rigid body design minimizes vibration, ensuring accurate hole sizing and reducing wear on the magnetic drill motor. For industrial MRO and structural fabrication, the Walter 05F131 represents a strategic investment in productivity and quality assurance.

FAQ

It is specifically designed for hard and abrasive materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, tough alloys, and composites, but it also works exceptionally well on carbon steel and non-ferrous metals.

No, annular cutters like this are designed for use with magnetic drilling units (mag drills) or stationary drill presses that have the appropriate arbor and stability.

Yes, using a high-quality cutting lubricant or coolant is highly recommended to extend the life of the carbide tips and ensure a smooth cut, especially in stainless steel.

The 05F131 model has a depth of cut (DOC) of 30mm, allowing it to drill through materials up to approximately 1.18 inches thick.

Carbide cutters are much harder and more heat-resistant than HSS, allowing them to cut faster and last significantly longer, particularly when drilling hard metals like stainless.

Yes, a pilot pin is necessary to center the cutter at the start of the hole and to eject the material slug once the cut is complete.

Yes, the robust body design and carbide tips make it suitable for drilling into curved or uneven surfaces where standard bits might struggle.

It typically features a standard Weldon shank, which is the industry standard for magnetic drill arbors.
