05D508 - Walter 05-D-508 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter 2.5 Inch Diameter

High-Performance Drilling for Tough Industrial Materials

The Walter 05D508 Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter is a premier hole-making solution designed specifically for the most demanding industrial environments. Engineered with high-grade tungsten carbide tips, this 2-1/2 inch diameter cutter is built to penetrate materials that typically challenge or destroy standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) tooling. It is the ideal choice for fabrication shops, heavy machinery maintenance, and structural steel projects where efficiency and precision are paramount. With a cutting depth of 2 inches, it handles thick plates and multi-layered materials with ease.

One of the standout features of the Carbide Core Cut series is its ability to maintain structural integrity under high thermal stress. Drilling through abrasive materials like cast iron, stainless steel, and hard alloys generates significant heat. The Walter 05D508 utilizes a sophisticated flute design that not only evacuates chips rapidly but also aids in heat dissipation. This results in a cleaner cut, reduced burr formation, and a significantly extended tool life, ultimately lowering the cost per hole for high-volume operations.

Precision is critical in MRO and fabrication tasks. This cutter is manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure concentricity and stability during operation. The shank is designed to fit securely into standard magnetic drilling units, providing a rigid connection that minimizes vibration and chatter. Whether you are drilling on a flat surface, an uneven casting, or even performing overlapping cuts, the aggressive yet stable cutting action of the Walter Carbide Core Cut ensures a reliable outcome every time.

Investing in carbide technology for large diameter holes is a strategic decision for productivity. The ability to run at higher speeds and feeds compared to HSS means jobs are completed faster. For maintenance teams working with unknown or hardened materials, the 05D508 provides the confidence that the tool will perform without premature failure. It is a robust, professional-grade tool that delivers consistent results in the toughest metalworking applications.
