OVERVIEW

High-Performance AICrN Coated Annular Cutter

The Walter 05B312 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of hole-making technology for industrial applications. Engineered with a proprietary Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating, this 3/4-inch by 2-inch cutter is designed to outperform and outlast traditional tooling. The advanced coating technology provides a significant thermal barrier, allowing the cutter to withstand operating temperatures at least 200°C higher than standard Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) alternatives. This makes the ICECUT series particularly effective in environments where external lubrication is restricted, difficult to apply, or undesirable.

Beyond its thermal properties, the physical geometry of the ICECUT is built for efficiency. It features fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat concentration at the cutting edge. The modern tooth design ensures smooth penetration into the workpiece, reducing mechanical stress on both the cutter and the magnetic drilling unit. With a universal shank, this tool offers broad compatibility across various machine brands, making it a versatile addition to any fabrication shop's inventory.

This cutter is specifically optimized for drilling through challenging materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and structural steel. Whether used in stationary setups or portable magnetic drills, the Walter ICECUT delivers precise, burr-free holes with exceptional speed. The combination of substrate toughness and the hard, slick AICrN top layer ensures that the cutting edges remain sharp longer, reducing downtime for tool changes and increasing overall productivity.

FAQ

The AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating provides exceptional heat resistance, allowing the cutter to withstand temperatures 200°C higher than standard TiAlN coatings. This extends tool life, especially in tough materials like stainless steel.

While the ICECUT is engineered to perform well in situations where lubricant is restricted, using a high-quality cutting fluid or paste is always recommended to maximize tool life and cut quality.

It features a Universal Shank, making it compatible with the majority of standard magnetic drilling units on the market.

The 05B312 has a cutting depth length of 2 inches.

Yes, the Walter ICECUT is suitable for drilling aluminum, as well as mild steel, structural steel, and stainless steel.

This specific cutter creates a 3/4-inch diameter hole.

Annular cutters can typically be resharpened, but the specialized AICrN coating would be removed from the cutting face during the process, potentially affecting performance compared to a new factory-coated unit.

The extra-large, fully ground flutes allow for rapid chip removal, which prevents the cutter from binding or overheating during deep cuts.
