05B108 - Walter ICECUT 1-1/2 Inch x 1 Inch Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Hole Cutting Technology for Tough Environments

The Walter ICECUT 1-1/2" x 1" Annular Cutter (05B108) represents a significant leap forward in magnetic drilling technology. Engineered for industrial professionals who demand precision and durability, this cutter is specifically designed to excel in challenging applications where standard high-speed steel (HSS) or traditional coatings fail. The core innovation lies in its exclusive AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike standard Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN blend is formulated to withstand extreme thermal stress, maintaining hardness and cutting edge integrity at temperatures up to 200°C higher than its predecessors.

This exceptional heat resistance makes the ICECUT series particularly valuable for drilling stainless steel and other hard alloys which tend to work-harden and generate immense heat during machining. Furthermore, the coating's properties allow this cutter to perform effectively in situations where liquid lubricants are not an option, providing a dry-drilling solution that does not compromise on tool life. The cutter features fully ground, extra-large flutes that rapidly evacuate chips, preventing clogging and heat buildup inside the hole.

Compatibility is key in MRO environments. The 05B108 features a universal shank, ensuring it fits securely into a wide range of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines without the need for special adapters. Whether you are fabricating structural steel, repairing heavy machinery, or working on on-site installations, the Walter ICECUT delivers clean, burr-free holes with speed and consistency.

Key Technical Benefits

• Superior Coating: AICrN blend minimizes friction and resists oxidation at high temperatures.
• Chip Management: Advanced flute geometry ejects debris quickly to protect the workpiece.
• Versatility: Optimized for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminum and stainless.
