05F242 - Walter 42mm Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter - 55mm Depth

Industrial Precision with Walter Carbide Core Cut Technology

The Walter 05F242 42mm x 55mm Carbide Core Cut annular cutter represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for heavy industrial applications. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing and maintenance operations, this cutter is engineered to deliver exceptional performance where traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) tools often fail. The core advantage lies in its premium carbide inserts, which are brazed onto a tough alloy body. This construction allows the cutter to withstand the extreme heat and abrasion generated when drilling through difficult materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and high-tensile alloys.

Efficiency is critical in industrial environments, and the Walter Carbide Core Cut series is built to maximize throughput. The 42mm diameter and 55mm depth of cut make it an ideal solution for creating large-diameter holes in thick plates, structural beams, and heavy machinery components. The advanced flute design is meticulously calculated to promote rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup that can compromise tool life and hole quality. This allows operators to run their magnetic drilling units at higher speeds and feed rates, significantly reducing cycle times per hole.

Durability is a hallmark of the Walter brand, and this annular cutter is no exception. It is specifically designed to handle the shock and stress of drilling into uneven or curved surfaces, a common challenge in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) tasks. Whether you are working on pipeline flanges, heavy equipment frames, or structural steel retrofits, the 05F242 provides consistent, burr-free results. By investing in carbide technology, facilities can reduce tool changeover frequency and inventory costs, as a single carbide cutter can outlast multiple HSS equivalents in abrasive applications.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Extended Tool Life: Carbide tips resist wear even in abrasive materials like cast iron and composites.
• High-Speed Operation: Capable of cutting faster than standard bits, improving overall operational efficiency.
• Versatile Application: Excellent for both workshop production and on-site repairs using magnetic drills.
• Precision Engineering: Produces accurate, clean holes that often require no secondary finishing.
