05D724 - Walter 2.5 Inch x 3 Inch TCT Annular Cutter for Stainless and Cast Iron

High-Performance Carbide Technology for Hard Metals

The Walter 05D724 Carbide Core Cut annular cutter represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial applications involving hard and abrasive materials. Engineered with a substantial 2-1/2 inch diameter and a deep 3-inch cutting capacity, this tool is specifically designed to overcome the limitations of traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters. The core advantage lies in its Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) teeth, which provide exceptional hardness and thermal stability. This allows the cutter to maintain its cutting edge even when subjected to the high temperatures generated when drilling through tough alloys, stainless steel, and cast iron.

Walter Surface Technologies has integrated a specialized flute and body design into this series. The geometry is optimized to reduce friction and facilitate rapid chip evacuation, which is critical when drilling deep holes to prevent binding and overheating. The carbide inserts are brazed with precision to withstand the mechanical stresses of heavy-duty machining. This structural integrity ensures that the cutter delivers consistent, accurate holes with superior surface finish, often eliminating the need for secondary reaming or deburring operations. For MRO professionals and machinists, this means significantly reduced cycle times and lower cost-per-hole due to the extended tool life.

Furthermore, the Carbide Core Cut series is robust enough to handle interrupted cuts and uneven surfaces, scenarios where standard cutters often fail or chip. Whether utilized in a workshop environment or on-site with portable magnetic drilling units, the 05D724 provides the reliability required for critical infrastructure projects, heavy equipment repair, and structural steel fabrication. It is an essential tool for operations that demand precision and efficiency in the most challenging material classes.
