39D400 - Walter ICECUT 400 4-Speed Heavy Duty Magnetic Drill Press

Heavy-Duty Precision Drilling with the Walter ICECUT 400

The Walter ICECUT 400 Magnetic Drilling Unit (39D400) stands as the flagship model in Walter's line of portable magnetic drills, engineered specifically for the most demanding industrial applications. When your fabrication project requires large-diameter holes in thick steel plates, beams, or chassis, the ICECUT 400 delivers the raw power and mechanical advantage necessary to get the job done efficiently. At the heart of this machine is a robust 2000-watt motor that provides consistent torque, ensuring that even the largest annular cutters drive through metal smoothly without stalling.

What sets the ICECUT 400 apart is its sophisticated 4-speed mechanical gearbox. Unlike single or two-speed drills that compromise on torque or speed, this unit allows operators to select the precise RPM range required for the specific cutter size and material hardness. The low gears (45-129 RPM) generate immense torque for driving large cutters up to 4 inches (100mm) in diameter, while the higher gears (up to 700 RPM) are perfect for smaller diameter holes, ensuring clean cuts and extended tool life. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool for structural steel erectors, heavy equipment manufacturers, and maintenance crews.

Safety and longevity are paramount in the design of the ICECUT 400. The unit features Walter's proprietary ACCUDRILL system, an LED load indicator that provides real-time feedback to the operator. This smart feature helps prevent motor overload and reduces the risk of cutter breakage by guiding the user to apply the optimal feed pressure. Additionally, the heavy-duty electromagnet provides a massive 4400 lbs of holding force, securing the drill firmly to the workpiece even in vertical or overhead positions (when used with the included safety chain). With a 10-inch stroke and the ability to handle twist drills up to 1-1/4 inches, the ICECUT 400 is a comprehensive drilling solution for the modern industrial workshop.
