05B504 - Walter ICECUT 2-1/4" x 2" AICrN Coated Annular Cutter

High-Performance Drilling with Walter ICECUT Technology

The Walter 05B504 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of hole-making technology for industrial fabrication. Designed with a massive 2-1/4 inch diameter and a 2-inch depth of cut, this tool is engineered to tackle the toughest materials found in heavy manufacturing and construction. The defining feature of the ICECUT series is its proprietary AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike standard Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, this unique chromium-aluminum blend provides exceptional thermal stability, allowing the cutter to maintain hardness and edge retention at temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher than conventional alternatives.

For industrial operators, this translates to significantly longer tool life and the ability to operate at higher speeds and feeds without premature failure. The coating's slick surface, combined with fully ground extra-large flutes, ensures rapid chip evacuation, preventing heat buildup and material welding inside the cut. This is particularly critical when drilling deep holes in gummy materials like aluminum or work-hardening alloys like stainless steel. The modern tooth geometry is precision-ground to reduce vibration and chatter, resulting in burr-free holes that often require no secondary finishing operations.

The 05B504 is equipped with a universal shank, making it compatible with a wide array of magnetic drilling units and stationary drill presses. Its robust design is capable of withstanding high stress and instant impact, making it a reliable choice for structural steel erection and on-site repairs. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop or out in the field, the Walter ICECUT delivers consistent, precise performance where lubricant application may be difficult or impossible.

Key Technical Benefits
