05Z034 - Walter 2-Inch DOC Pilot Pin for 1-1/4 Weldon Shank Cutters

Precision Centering and Ejection for Heavy-Duty Drilling

The Walter 05Z034 Pilot Pin is an essential accessory designed for industrial metalworking professionals who demand accuracy and efficiency. Engineered specifically for use with annular cutters featuring a 2-inch Depth of Cut (DOC) and a 1-1/4" Weldon Shank, this pilot pin serves two critical functions in the drilling process: precise positioning and reliable slug ejection. Without a high-quality pilot pin, operators risk inaccurate hole placement and the frustration of manual slug removal, which can significantly slow down production timelines.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in high-performance surface treatment and cutting tools, this pin is crafted from premium steel that has been meticulously hardened and precision-ground. This manufacturing process ensures that the pin maintains its straightness and structural integrity even under the high stress and heat generated during heavy-duty drilling operations. The hardening process specifically targets the reduction of wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the accessory and ensuring it remains a reliable part of your magnetic drill assembly for longer.

Optimized for Walter Cutter Series

This pilot pin is engineered for seamless compatibility with Walter's renowned line of annular cutters. It is the perfect match for SST Core Cut, ICECUT, and CARBIDE series cutters when used in 2-inch depth configurations. The pin acts as a central guide, allowing the operator to line up the cutter tip exactly with the center punch mark on the workpiece. Once the drill motor is engaged and the cut is completed, the spring-loaded mechanism in the arbor utilizes this pin to forcefully eject the metal slug, clearing the cutter for the next hole immediately.

Technical Reliability

In addition to positioning and ejection, high-quality pilot pins like the 05Z034 often play a role in internal coolant systems, acting as a valve to allow coolant to flow only when drilling pressure is applied. Using the correct length and diameter pin is crucial for this mechanism to function correctly. This specific model is tailored for the larger 1-1/4" Weldon shank arbors, ensuring a tight fit and smooth operation that prevents wobbling or misalignment during the cut.
