05B313 - Walter ICECUT 13/16 Inch x 2 Inch High Performance Annular Cutter

Advanced Core Drilling Technology for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter ICECUT Annular Cutter (13/16" Diameter x 2" Depth) represents a significant leap forward in magnetic drilling technology. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this cutter is designed to address the most common failure points in industrial hole-making: heat buildup and chip clogging. At the heart of its performance is the revolutionary AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN blend is specifically formulated to withstand extreme thermal stress. It maintains its hardness and lubricity at temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher than its predecessors, making it the ideal choice for continuous drilling operations where heat generation is unavoidable.

Industrial fabricators often face scenarios where the application of liquid coolant is restricted or difficult due to positional constraints. The ICECUT series excels in these environments. While coolant is always recommended for maximum longevity, the inherent heat resistance of the AICrN coating protects the cutting edge from thermal softening, ensuring consistent performance even when lubrication is less than optimal. This makes the 05B313 cutter particularly valuable for on-site structural work, overhead drilling, and automated manufacturing processes where downtime for tool changes must be minimized.

Beyond the coating, the physical geometry of the ICECUT is optimized for efficiency. The cutter features fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation. In deep hole drilling—such as the 2-inch depth provided by this model—efficient chip removal is critical to preventing binding and breakage. The modern tooth design reduces cutting resistance, allowing the tool to shear through tough materials like stainless steel and structural alloys with less torque required from the magnetic drill unit. Furthermore, the universal shank design ensures broad compatibility, allowing this high-performance tool to be utilized with a wide array of magnetic drilling machines without the need for specialized adapters.

By integrating superior metallurgy with advanced geometric design, Walter has created a tool that not only cuts faster but also lasts longer. For procurement specialists and facility managers, switching to the ICECUT line translates to reduced consumable costs and increased throughput. Whether working with aluminum, stainless steel, or mild steel, the Walter ICECUT delivers precise, burr-free holes with reliability that meets the demands of modern heavy industry.
