05D408 - Walter 1-1/2 Inch x 2 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter

High-Performance Carbide Drilling for Tough Alloys

The Walter 05D408 1-1/2" x 2" Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter is an industrial-grade tool engineered to overcome the challenges of drilling hard, abrasive, and uneven materials. Unlike standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters that can dull quickly on stainless steel or cast iron, this cutter utilizes premium tungsten carbide tips to maintain a sharp cutting edge under high thermal stress and mechanical load. This makes it an essential asset for fabrication shops, heavy manufacturing, and on-site construction where reliability and speed are paramount.

Designed with a sophisticated flute geometry, the Carbide Core Cut efficiently evacuates chips from the hole, preventing clogging and reducing heat generation. This design feature allows operators to run magnetic drilling units at higher RPMs and feed rates, significantly reducing cycle times per hole. The 2-inch depth of cut provides ample capacity for drilling through thick structural plates, pipe flanges, and heavy machinery components without the need for multiple passes or tool changes.

Reliability is key in professional environments. The Walter 05D408 is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use, offering a longer lifespan that translates to lower cost-per-hole. Whether you are drilling into tensile steel rails, abrasive cast iron, or work-hardening stainless steel, this annular cutter delivers precise, burr-free holes that typically require no secondary reaming or deburring. It is compatible with a wide range of magnetic drills, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib.
