05B105 - Walter ICECUT 1-5/16" x 1" Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Core Drilling Technology

The Walter 05B105 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in hole-making technology for industrial fabrication. Engineered with a diameter of 1-5/16 inches and a cutting depth of 1 inch, this tool is specifically designed to address the challenges of drilling through tough metals like stainless steel and structural steel. The defining feature of the ICECUT series is its exclusive AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN mixture is formulated to withstand extreme thermal stress, enduring temperatures at least 200 degrees Celsius higher than conventional alternatives. This thermal stability is crucial when drilling hard alloys where heat buildup is the primary cause of tool failure.

Beyond its coating, the geometry of the 05B105 is optimized for efficiency. It features fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and reducing the mechanical load on the machine. The modern tooth design works in tandem with the coating to minimize heat generation at the cutting edge, ensuring a cleaner cut and preserving the metallurgical integrity of the workpiece. This cutter is particularly advantageous in environments where liquid lubricants are restricted or difficult to apply, as its heat-resistant properties allow for effective dry drilling or near-dry machining.

Compatibility is ensured through a universal shank design, making this cutter suitable for a wide range of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines. Whether used in heavy manufacturing, construction, or MRO applications, the Walter ICECUT delivers precision, speed, and durability that translates to lower cost per hole and reduced downtime for tool changes.
