OVERVIEW

High-Performance Drilling with Walter Icecut Technology

The Walter Icecut 1-1/16" x 4" Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of core drilling technology for industrial applications. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern metal fabrication, this cutter utilizes a sophisticated Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN formulation provides exceptional thermal stability. It can withstand operating temperatures up to 200°C higher than conventional alternatives, making it remarkably resistant to the heat generated during heavy-duty drilling in structural steel and stainless steel. This thermal resilience translates directly to extended tool life and the ability to maintain cutting edge hardness even under extreme stress.

Efficiency in chip removal is critical when drilling deep holes, particularly with a 4-inch depth of cut. Walter has engineered this cutter with fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid evacuation of metal chips. This design prevents clogging and heat buildup inside the bore, ensuring a clean, precise hole every time. The modern tooth geometry further enhances performance by reducing vibration and cutting resistance, allowing for smoother operation and less wear on the magnetic drilling unit. Whether you are working on a remote job site where lubricant application is difficult or in a controlled shop environment, the Icecut's advanced metallurgy offers flexibility and reliability.

Compatibility is key for MRO professionals and fabricators. The Icecut features a universal shank that fits perfectly into a wide array of magnetic drilling machines, eliminating the need for specialized adapters. This 1-1/16" diameter cutter is specifically optimized for creating precise through-holes in thick plates, beams, and profiles. By focusing on the core material and leaving a solid slug, it requires less energy and time than twist drills, significantly boosting productivity in structural steel erection, heavy equipment repair, and general manufacturing.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Superior Heat Resistance: AICrN coating protects the cutting edge against thermal breakdown.
  • Deep Hole Capacity: 4-inch length allows for single-pass drilling through thick materials.
  • Optimized Geometry: Large flutes and advanced tooth design ensure smooth, vibration-free cutting.

FAQ

The AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating provides superior heat resistance and hardness compared to standard TiN or TiAlN coatings. It allows the cutter to withstand temperatures up to 200°C higher, resulting in longer tool life and the ability to drill harder materials.

While the AICrN coating is designed to withstand high heat and can be used in applications where lubricants are difficult to apply, using a coolant or cutting paste is still recommended whenever possible to maximize the lifespan of the tool and ensure the smoothest cut.

This cutter features a universal shank, which is designed to be compatible with the majority of standard magnetic drilling units available on the market.

This specific model (05B901) has a cutting depth length of 4 inches, allowing you to drill through materials up to that thickness.

Yes, the Walter Icecut is excellent for drilling stainless steel due to its advanced coating and geometry which help manage the work-hardening characteristics of stainless alloys.

Yes, a pilot pin is required to center the cutter and to eject the slug (core) after the hole is completed. Ensure you have the correct length pilot pin for a 4-inch depth cutter.

An annular cutter only cuts the periphery of the hole, leaving a solid core or slug. This requires significantly less power and time compared to a twist drill, which must turn all the material in the hole into chips.

The optimal RPM depends on the material being drilled (mild steel vs. stainless). Generally, for a 1-1/16" cutter in mild steel, a speed around 350-450 RPM is a good starting point, but always refer to the manufacturer's speed chart for specific materials.
