05B403 - Walter Icecut 1-3/16 Inch x 2 Inch Depth Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Hole-Making Technology with Walter Icecut

The Walter 05B403 Icecut Annular Cutter (1-3/16" Diameter x 2" Length) represents a significant leap forward in metal drilling technology. Designed for industrial environments where precision, speed, and tool longevity are paramount, this cutter utilizes a sophisticated Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating. Unlike standard high-speed steel or traditional Titanium Nitride (TiN) coated bits, the Icecut series is engineered to withstand extreme thermal stress. The proprietary AICrN blend allows the cutter to maintain its hardness and cutting edge integrity at temperatures up to 200°C higher than comparable TiAlN cutters. This thermal stability is critical when drilling hard, abrasive materials like stainless steel or when operating in conditions where coolant application is inconsistent or restricted.

Beyond its advanced coating, the physical geometry of the 05B403 is optimized for heavy-duty performance. It features fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation. Efficient chip removal is essential in deep hole drilling (up to 2 inches in this model) to prevent clogging and heat buildup, which are the primary causes of premature tool failure. The modern tooth design cuts cleanly and aggressively, reducing the axial force required by the magnetic drill unit. This not only speeds up the drilling process but also reduces wear on the machine's motor and gearbox.

Versatility is a core component of the Walter Icecut design. The cutter is equipped with a universal shank, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines without the need for specialized adapters. Whether the application involves structural steel fabrication, truck frame modification, or stainless steel tank manufacturing, the Walter Icecut delivers consistent, burr-free holes with tight tolerances. By generating significantly less heat during the cutting process, it minimizes work hardening of the base material, ensuring that the structural integrity of the workpiece is maintained.

For MRO professionals and industrial fabricators, the Walter 05B403 offers a compelling return on investment through reduced downtime and fewer tool changes. Its ability to perform under high stress and instant impact makes it a reliable choice for the most demanding drilling tasks.
