05B502 - Walter Icecut 2-1/8 Inch x 2 Inch Depth Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced AICrN Technology for Superior Drilling

The Walter 05B502 Icecut Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in hole-making technology for industrial fabrication. Measuring 2-1/8 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth of cut, this tool is engineered to tackle the toughest materials, including stainless steel, structural steel, and aluminum. The defining feature of the Icecut series is its proprietary AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, AICrN is formulated to withstand extreme thermal stress, maintaining hardness and stability at temperatures up to 200°C higher than its predecessors. This makes the Icecut specifically advantageous for environments where liquid coolants are prohibited, restricted, or difficult to apply, ensuring the cutter remains sharp and durable even under dry cutting conditions.

Beyond its coating, the physical geometry of the cutter is designed for efficiency. It features fully ground, extra-large flutes that rapidly evacuate chips, preventing clogging and heat buildup deep within the hole. The modern tooth design reduces vibration and chatter, resulting in cleaner, burr-free holes that often require no secondary finishing. The universal shank design ensures that this high-performance cutter is compatible with a wide array of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines, making it a versatile addition to any professional tool crib. Whether working on vertical structural beams or horizontal plates, the Walter Icecut delivers precision and longevity that standard high-speed steel cutters cannot match.

By minimizing heat generation and maximizing wear resistance, the 05B502 reduces downtime associated with tool changes and sharpening. It is the ideal solution for MRO professionals and fabricators who demand reliability and speed in their drilling operations.
