05D412 - Walter 1-3/4 Inch x 2 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter

High-Performance Carbide Drilling for Hard Alloys

The Walter 05D412 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter is a premium industrial tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty metal fabrication. Measuring 1-3/4 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth of cut, this cutter is engineered specifically for drilling through difficult materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and other tough alloys. Unlike traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters, which can struggle with heat generation and edge retention in hard metals, the Carbide Core Cut series utilizes extra-hard carbide inserts. These inserts provide superior hardness and heat resistance, enabling operators to run their magnetic drilling units at higher speeds and feed rates without compromising the tool's integrity.

The structural design of the 05D412 features a specialized flute geometry that efficiently evacuates chips, preventing clogging and heat buildup deep within the hole. This is critical when drilling thick plates or working on uneven surfaces where chip extraction can be problematic. The body of the cutter is robust, minimizing vibration and ensuring precise, burr-free holes that often require no secondary finishing operations. For MRO professionals and fabricators working with structural steel, rail, or heavy machinery components, this cutter offers a reliable solution that reduces cycle times and extends tool life significantly compared to standard alternatives.

Compatibility is key in industrial environments, and this Walter cutter is designed to fit standard magnetic drilling units, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib. Whether used for on-site repairs, structural erection, or shop fabrication, the 05D412 delivers consistent performance. Its ability to handle the thermal shock and abrasive nature of cast iron and stainless steel makes it an indispensable asset for operations prioritizing efficiency and precision.
