05B407 - Walter ICECUT 1-7/16" x 2" AICrN Coated Annular Cutter

Advanced Coating Technology for Industrial Drilling

The Walter 05B407 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in hole-making technology for industrial fabrication. At the core of its performance is a specialized AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, AICrN is engineered to withstand extreme thermal loads, capable of enduring temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher than its predecessors. This thermal stability is crucial for maintaining cutting edge hardness during prolonged drilling operations, particularly in tough materials like stainless steel and structural alloys.

Designed with precision engineering, the ICECUT features fully ground, extra-large flutes. This geometry is critical for efficient chip evacuation, preventing heat buildup and binding deep in the hole. The cutter is specifically optimized for scenarios where liquid lubricants are either prohibited due to contamination concerns or simply impractical to apply. The coating's inherent lubricity and heat resistance allow it to perform exceptionally well in these "dry" or near-dry machining environments, reducing the risk of work hardening the material.

The 1-7/16" diameter and 2" depth of cut make this tool versatile for medium-to-heavy fabrication tasks. Its universal shank ensures compatibility with a wide array of magnetic drilling units, allowing for seamless integration into existing tooling inventories. By resisting high stress levels and instant impact, the ICECUT series reduces tool breakage and downtime, providing a reliable solution for high-volume production environments.
