05D013 - Walter 13/16 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter 1.5 Depth

Precision Engineering for Tough Materials

The Walter 05D013 Carbide Core Cut annular cutter represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial applications requiring high-performance hole making in difficult-to-machine materials. Engineered with premium tungsten carbide tips, this 13/16-inch cutter is specifically designed to overcome the limitations of traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) tooling. When faced with abrasive materials like cast iron, or work-hardening alloys such as stainless steel, the Carbide Core Cut maintains its cutting edge integrity significantly longer, reducing downtime associated with tool changes and sharpening.

The structural design of the cutter features a sophisticated flute geometry that optimizes chip flow. In deep hole drilling—up to the 1.5-inch depth capacity of this unit—efficient chip evacuation is critical to prevent heat accumulation and binding. Walter’s design ensures that chips are ejected smoothly, keeping the cutting interface cool and allowing for higher feed rates. This thermal management is essential when working with heat-sensitive materials or when structural integrity of the workpiece is paramount. The carbide inserts are brazed using advanced techniques to withstand the high torque and shock loads encountered during heavy-duty drilling operations.

Furthermore, the 05D013 is built to handle the rigors of uneven or curved surfaces, a common challenge in structural steel fabrication and MRO environments. The rigidity of the body combined with the hardness of the carbide tips minimizes deflection, ensuring hole accuracy and roundness tolerances are strictly maintained. For procurement specialists and facility managers, investing in Walter Carbide Core Cut technology translates to a lower cost-per-hole and increased throughput in manufacturing and repair workflows.
