05F131 - Walter 31mm Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter for Stainless Steel

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.
