05D308 - Walter Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter - 1/2 in x 2 in Depth

High-Performance Drilling for Tough Industrial Alloys

The Walter 05D308 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter is engineered to redefine efficiency in heavy-duty metalworking operations. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter with a 2-inch depth of cut, this tool is specifically designed to tackle the most abrasive and hard-to-machine materials found in modern industry. Unlike standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters that may struggle or dull quickly against hardened surfaces, the Carbide Core Cut series utilizes premium Tungsten Carbide tips. This advanced metallurgy provides exceptional hardness and heat resistance, allowing the cutter to maintain its cutting edge even under the extreme thermal stress generated when drilling stainless steel, cast iron, and other tough alloys.

Industrial fabrication demands precision and speed, and Walter delivers both with this specialized cutter. The sophisticated flute geometry is optimized to evacuate chips rapidly, preventing clogging and reducing the friction that leads to work-hardening of the material. This results in a smoother drilling process that requires less horsepower from the magnetic drilling unit while delivering faster penetration rates. For facility managers and procurement specialists, this translates to a lower cost per hole and significantly reduced downtime for tool changes. The robust body design absorbs vibration, ensuring that every hole is perfectly round and true to size, which is critical for structural connections and precision assembly work.

Furthermore, the versatility of the Walter Carbide Core Cut makes it an indispensable asset in diverse sectors such as rail maintenance, heavy equipment repair, and structural steel construction. It excels not only on flat surfaces but also on uneven or curved materials where traditional twist drills often wander. Whether you are drilling through thick plate steel or overlapping layers, this cutter provides the stability and bite required for clean, burr-free results. By investing in Walter's carbide technology, you are ensuring that your operations remain productive and that your tooling inventory is capable of handling whatever material challenges arise on the shop floor.
