39D251 - Walter ICECUT 250P Pipe Magnetic Drill with Pivoting Base

Precision Drilling for Curved Surfaces

The Walter ICECUT™ 250P (SKU: 39D251) represents a significant leap forward in portable magnetic drilling technology, specifically engineered to address the challenges of drilling on curved surfaces and pipes. Unlike standard magnetic drills that require cumbersome chain adapters or flat-bar welding to function on a radius, the ICECUT™ 250P utilizes permanent pivoting magnets. These magnets automatically adjust to the curvature of the workpiece, providing a secure hold on pipes, tanks, and structural rounds, as well as standard flat plates. This dual-capability makes it an indispensable tool for industrial maintenance and fabrication shops that handle diverse geometries.

At the core of the machine is a robust 2-speed motor equipped with Dynamax™ variable speed control. This system allows operators to fine-tune the RPM between 100 and 500, ensuring the optimal cutting speed for various annular cutter sizes and material hardness. The unit boasts a substantial drilling capacity of 2-3/8” diameter by 3” depth, accommodating a wide range of hole specifications. Furthermore, the advanced magnetic technology allows the unit to adhere securely to materials as thin as 1/8 inch, expanding its utility to lighter gauge sheet metals and thin-wall piping where other mag drills fail to engage.

Safety and tool longevity are paramount in the design of the ICECUT™ 250P. The integrated Accudrill™ LED torque display gives the operator real-time visual feedback on the motor's load. This feature helps prevent stalling and reduces wear on both the machine and the cutter by indicating when the feed pressure is too high. Additionally, the permanent nature of the magnets means the drill remains attached to the workpiece even in the event of a sudden power failure, significantly reducing the risk of injury or equipment damage in busy industrial environments.
