05F108 - Walter ICECUT 1-1/2 Inch Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Holemaking Technology with Walter ICECUT

The Walter 05F108 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in magnetic drilling technology. Designed for industrial professionals who demand precision and longevity, this 1-1/2" diameter cutter features a cutting depth of 1". At the heart of its performance is the revolutionary AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, AICrN is engineered to withstand extreme thermal stress, maintaining hardness and stability at temperatures up to 200°C higher than its predecessors. This exceptional heat resistance minimizes the risk of built-up edge, especially when drilling tough materials like stainless steel or aluminum.

One of the standout features of the ICECUT series is its ability to perform in lubricant-free environments. While coolant is always recommended to maximize tool life, the tribological properties of the AICrN coating allow this cutter to operate effectively in situations where liquid lubricants are impractical or prohibited. This makes it an excellent choice for overhead drilling or clean-room applications where contamination must be avoided. The cutter is constructed with fully ground, extra-large flutes that rapidly evacuate chips, preventing clogging and reducing the thermal load on the tool and the workpiece.

Compatibility is key in a diverse workshop environment. The 05F108 is equipped with a universal shank, ensuring it fits securely into a wide range of magnetic drilling units without the need for specialized adapters. The modern tooth geometry is optimized to initiate cuts smoothly, reducing vibration and chatter that can lead to tool breakage or poor surface finish. Whether you are fabricating structural steel components or performing maintenance on heavy machinery, the Walter ICECUT delivers consistent, high-quality holes with improved cycle times and reduced downtime for tool changes.
