05F407 - Walter ICECUT 1-7/16 Inch x 2 Inch Depth Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Metallurgy for Superior Drilling Performance

The Walter 05F407 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in metal drilling technology, specifically engineered for industrial environments where efficiency and tool longevity are paramount. At the core of its performance is the exclusive Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, AICrN is formulated to withstand extreme thermal stress. This unique tribological blend allows the cutter to endure operating temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher than its predecessors. This heat resistance is critical in heavy-duty fabrication where friction generates immense heat that typically degrades the cutting edge of standard bits.

Designed with a 1-7/16" diameter and a 2" depth of cut, this tool is optimized for structural steel, stainless steel, and aluminum applications. The physical geometry of the cutter complements its advanced coating; it features fully ground, extra-large flutes that rapidly evacuate chips from the hole. This prevents chip packing—a common cause of bit failure—and ensures a clean, burr-free finish. The modern tooth design is engineered to handle heavy mechanical loads and sudden impacts, reducing the risk of tooth breakage during the initial pierce or when breaking through the material.

Versatility is a key component of the ICECUT design. The cutter utilizes a universal shank, making it compatible with a wide array of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines without the need for specialized adapters. This "one-size-fits-most" approach simplifies inventory management for MRO departments and fabrication shops. Furthermore, the coating's anti-friction properties make this cutter particularly effective in scenarios where external lubrication is difficult to apply or prohibited due to contamination concerns. Whether used in field construction or a controlled machine shop, the Walter ICECUT delivers consistent, high-precision performance.
