05D536 - Walter Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter - 3-1/4 in x 2 in

High-Performance Carbide Drilling Technology

The Walter Carbide Core Cut annular cutter (SKU: 05D536) represents a significant advancement in industrial hole-making technology. Designed for the most demanding applications, this 3-1/4 inch diameter cutter features a 2-inch depth of cut, making it a robust solution for heavy fabrication and machining environments. Unlike traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) cutters, which can struggle or fail when encountering hard or abrasive materials, this tool utilizes premium tungsten carbide inserts. These inserts are engineered to maintain their cutting edge under extreme heat and pressure, allowing for consistent performance in materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and high-tensile alloys.

The structural design of the Carbide Core Cut is focused on efficiency and precision. It incorporates a sophisticated flute geometry that promotes rapid chip evacuation. This is critical when drilling large-diameter holes, as chip clogging can lead to heat buildup and premature tool failure. By effectively clearing debris from the cutting path, the Walter 05D536 allows for higher feed rates and rotational speeds, significantly reducing cycle times in production settings. The body of the cutter is constructed to withstand the torque and stress associated with drilling 3-1/4 inch holes, ensuring stability and accuracy throughout the operation.

Versatility is a key attribute of this product line. While it excels in standard flat-plate drilling, the Walter Carbide Core Cut is also uniquely capable of handling uneven or curved surfaces without wandering. This makes it an invaluable asset for working on pipes, structural beams, and irregular castings. The cutter is compatible with a wide range of magnetic drilling units and stationary drill presses, utilizing a standard shank design that ensures a secure fit and optimal power transfer. For industrial operators facing the challenge of machining modern, high-hardness materials, this carbide-tipped cutter offers a reliable and cost-effective solution.

In addition to its cutting capabilities, the tool is designed to minimize wear on the drilling equipment itself. Because the carbide tips cut more freely than dulling HSS tools, less downward pressure is required to achieve penetration. This reduces the strain on the drill motor and magnet, potentially extending the lifespan of your capital equipment. Whether used for maintenance, repair, or large-scale manufacturing, the Walter 05D536 delivers the quality and consistency expected from a leader in surface treatment and cutting technologies.
