05F308 - Walter Icecut 1/2-Inch x 2-Inch Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Technology for Precision Hole Making

The Walter 05F308 Icecut Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of core drilling technology, engineered specifically for heavy-duty industrial applications. At the heart of this tool's performance is its revolutionary AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike standard Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) cutters, the Icecut series is designed to withstand extreme thermal loads. The unique chromium-aluminum blend allows the cutter to operate at temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) higher than conventional alternatives while generating significantly less friction heat during the cut. This makes it an exceptional choice for applications where external lubrication is difficult or impossible to apply, although coolant is always recommended for maximum longevity.

Superior Geometry and Design

Beyond its coating, the Walter 05F308 features a sophisticated physical geometry designed to maximize efficiency. The cutter is engineered with fully ground, extra-large flutes. This design feature is critical for deep hole drilling—up to the cutter's 2-inch depth capacity—as it ensures rapid and effective chip evacuation. By clearing debris quickly, the cutter reduces drag and heat buildup, further protecting the integrity of the tool and the workpiece. The modern tooth design is optimized to bite cleanly into a variety of materials, including mild steel, structural steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, providing a burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for secondary reaming operations.

Universal Compatibility

Versatility is key in industrial environments. The 05F308 is equipped with a Universal Shank, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines. This eliminates the need for specialized adapters in most setups, allowing for seamless integration into your existing tooling inventory. Whether you are fabricating structural beams or performing maintenance on heavy machinery, the Icecut's resistance to high stress and instant impact ensures reliable performance under the most demanding conditions.
