05B112 - Walter ICECUT 1-3/4" x 1" Annular Cutter AICrN Coated

Advanced AICrN Technology for Precision Drilling

The Walter 05B112 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in magnetic drilling technology. Engineered with a proprietary Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating, this 1-3/4" diameter cutter is specifically designed to outperform traditional Titanium (TiN) and Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coated tools. The advanced coating chemistry allows the ICECUT series to withstand operating temperatures at least 200°C higher than conventional alternatives. This thermal resilience is critical when drilling hard materials like stainless steel or when working in environments where liquid lubricants are restricted or prohibited. By maintaining hardness at elevated temperatures, the cutter preserves its cutting edge longer, reducing downtime and replacement costs.

Beyond its thermal properties, the physical geometry of the ICECUT is optimized for efficiency. The cutter features fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and heat buildup deep within the cut. This is particularly important for the 1-inch depth of cut provided by this model, ensuring that the entire drilling process remains smooth and consistent. The modern tooth design reduces the horsepower required from the magnetic drill, allowing for faster penetration rates without overloading the machine. Whether used in a stationary setup or a portable magnetic drill, the universal shank ensures compatibility with a wide array of equipment, making it a versatile addition to any industrial tool crib.

Durability is a core characteristic of the Walter ICECUT line. The coating not only resists heat but also provides a slick surface that reduces friction and adhesion, common issues when drilling aluminum and gummy stainless steels. The substrate is engineered to resist high-stress loads and instantaneous impacts that often occur when the cutter breaks through the material. This combination of toughness and hardness makes the 05B112 an ideal choice for heavy-duty fabrication, structural steel work, and MRO applications where reliability is non-negotiable.
