05B405 - Walter ICECUT 1-5/16" x 2" Annular Cutter with AICrN Coating

Advanced AICrN Technology for Superior Drilling Performance

The Walter ICECUT Annular Cutter (SKU: 05B405) represents a significant leap forward in core drilling technology. Engineered for the most demanding industrial environments, this 1-5/16" diameter cutter features a cutting-edge Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN blend is specifically formulated to withstand extreme thermal stress. It maintains its hardness and cutting edge integrity at temperatures at least 200°C higher than conventional alternatives, making it the premier choice for high-speed drilling and hard alloys.

This thermal resilience is particularly critical in applications where external lubrication is restricted or difficult to apply. The coating acts as a thermal barrier, directing heat away from the tool substrate and into the chips, thereby extending the lifespan of the cutter significantly. The ICECUT is designed with fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup even during deep hole drilling up to 2 inches.

Mechanically, the cutter boasts a modern tooth design and sophisticated geometry that reduces vibration and chatter, resulting in cleaner, burr-free holes. The universal shank ensures compatibility with a wide range of magnetic drilling units, providing versatility across different machinery. Whether working with stainless steel, aluminum, or heavy structural steel, the Walter ICECUT delivers consistent, high-precision performance that industrial professionals rely on.
