OVERVIEW

Precision Drilling for Hard Metals

The Walter 05D501 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter is a top-tier industrial tool designed to tackle the most challenging drilling applications. Measuring 2-1/16 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth of cut, this cutter is engineered to perform where standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) tools fail. It features premium tungsten carbide tips that maintain their cutting edge even under high thermal stress, making it the ideal choice for drilling through abrasive and hard materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and specialized alloys.

Walter has integrated a sophisticated flute and body design into this cutter to maximize efficiency. The specialized geometry promotes rapid chip removal, preventing clogging and reducing heat accumulation during the drilling process. This design allows operators to run their magnetic drilling units at higher speeds and feed rates while requiring significantly less physical effort. Whether you are working on a large-scale fabrication project or performing maintenance on heavy machinery, the consistency and speed of the Carbide Core Cut series ensure that every hole is drilled with precision and ease.

Durability is at the heart of the 05D501. The extra-hard carbide inserts are brazed securely to the cutter body, providing exceptional resistance to wear and breakage. This longevity translates to reduced downtime for tool changes and lower overall tooling costs per hole. For professionals who demand reliability when drilling uneven surfaces or difficult-to-machine metals, this Walter annular cutter delivers superior results every time.

Key Benefits

  • Superior Hardness: Carbide tips cut through materials that dull standard bits instantly.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Faster drilling speeds and feed rates improve workflow.
  • Versatile Application: Perfect for stainless steel, structural steel, and cast iron.
  • Optimized Design: Smooth chip evacuation reduces friction and heat.

FAQ

It is specifically designed for hard and abrasive materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, tough alloys, and composite materials, but it also works excellently on carbon steel.

Yes, using a high-quality cutting lubricant or coolant is highly recommended to extend the life of the carbide tips and ensure a smooth cut, especially when drilling stainless steel.

No, annular cutters like this one are designed for use in magnetic drilling units (mag drills) or stationary drill presses with the appropriate arbor support.

Carbide is significantly harder and more heat-resistant than High-Speed Steel (HSS), allowing it to cut through harder metals like cast iron and stainless steel without dulling quickly.

Yes, a pilot pin is necessary to center the cutter, eject the slug after drilling, and control the flow of internal coolant to the cutting teeth.

While possible with specialized equipment, carbide cutters are more difficult to resharpen than HSS. It is often more cost-effective to replace them once the carbide tips are worn or damaged.

Walter Carbide Core Cut cutters typically feature a Weldon shank or a universal shank that fits most standard magnetic drill arbors.

The specialized flute design aids in rapid chip evacuation, which prevents the cutter from binding and reduces heat buildup in the workpiece.
