OVERVIEW

Advanced Hole Cutting Technology for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter 05B103 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in metal drilling technology, specifically engineered to address the shortcomings of traditional high-speed steel and standard coated cutters. At the core of this 1-3/16" diameter cutter is Walter's exclusive AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike conventional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN mixture provides a thermal barrier that is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher. This tribological advantage is critical in industrial environments where heat generation is the primary cause of tool failure, particularly when working with hard alloys like stainless steel or when external lubrication is impractical.

Structurally, the ICECUT is designed for maximum efficiency and rigidity. The cutter features fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup inside the bore. This geometry, combined with the advanced coating, allows the cutter to maintain its hardness and cutting edge even under intense stress and impact. For fabrication shops and MRO departments, this translates to significantly reduced downtime for tool changes and a lower cost per hole. The universal shank ensures compatibility with a broad range of magnetic drilling units, making it a versatile addition to any heavy-duty tooling inventory.

The 05B103 model offers a 1-inch depth of cut, making it ideal for drilling through plate steel, structural beams, and thick-walled pipe. Its ability to perform effectively in "dry" cutting scenarios—or situations where coolant delivery is inconsistent—sets it apart as a problem-solver for field applications. Whether you are drilling into structural steel frameworks or fabricating precision stainless components, the ICECUT delivers clean, burr-free holes with exceptional speed and reliability.

Technical Superiority of AICrN Coating

The aluminum and chromium blend in the coating forms a protective oxide layer at high temperatures, which acts as a lubricant and heat shield. This allows the underlying high-speed steel to retain its temper longer than competitors, ensuring that the 05B103 remains sharp and effective through hundreds of cycles.

FAQ

The ICECUT features an AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating which withstands temperatures up to 200°C higher than standard TiN or TiAlN coatings, allowing for longer life and better performance in tough materials.

Yes, the ICECUT series is specifically designed to withstand the high heat generated during dry cutting or in situations where lubrication is difficult, although using lubricant will always extend tool life further.

This cutter features a universal shank, making it compatible with the majority of magnetic drilling units on the market.

The 05B103 is suitable for drilling steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and aluminum.

This specific model has a depth of cut of 1 inch.

Typically, pilot pins are sold separately or come with the magnetic drill kit, but check the specific packaging contents or related products for the correct pilot pin size.

Annular cutters only cut the periphery of the hole, removing less material and requiring less horsepower and thrust than twist drills, which results in faster, cleaner holes.

Signs of a dull cutter include excessive vibration, the need for increased feed pressure, discoloration of the chips (blueing), or a rough finish inside the hole.
