05E012 - Walter SST Corecut 3/4-Inch Annular Cutter Universal Shank

High-Performance Drilling for Stainless Steel

The Walter 05E012 SST Corecut Annular Cutter is a premium industrial tool designed to solve the common challenges associated with drilling stainless steel and other hard alloys. In the world of metal fabrication, stainless steel is notorious for work-hardening and destroying standard cutting tools. Walter Surface Technologies has addressed this with the SST Corecut line, which utilizes a proprietary high-speed steel formulation and advanced heat treatment process. This specific cutter features a 3/4-inch diameter and a 1-inch depth of cut, making it a versatile choice for structural steelwork, vessel fabrication, and MRO applications.

One of the standout features of this model is its Universal Shank. In a busy industrial environment, managing inventory for different magnetic drill brands can be a headache. The Walter Universal Shank is engineered to fit perfectly into magnetic drills requiring Weldon shanks, Nitto shanks, and other common interfaces. This cross-compatibility ensures that your team can grab the 05E012 cutter and get to work immediately, regardless of the machine they are using. This reduces downtime and simplifies tool crib management significantly.

Performance-wise, the SST Corecut delivers exceptional results. It is designed to cut only the periphery of the hole, ejecting the center as a solid slug. This method requires far less energy and force than traditional twist drilling, resulting in faster penetration rates and less wear on the magnetic drill motor. The geometry of the teeth is optimized to clear chips efficiently, preventing heat buildup that often leads to premature tool failure in stainless steel applications. When you need precise, round, and burr-free holes in the toughest materials, the Walter SST Corecut is the professional's choice.
