05B107 - Walter ICECUT 1-7/16" x 1" Annular Cutter with AICrN Coating

Advanced Metallurgy for Precision Hole Making

The Walter 05B107 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of hole-making technology for industrial MRO and fabrication environments. Designed with a precise 1-7/16 inch diameter and a 1-inch depth of cut, this tool is engineered to address the common failure modes associated with drilling hard and abrasive metals. The core innovation of the ICECUT series lies in its proprietary coating. Unlike traditional Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coatings, the ICECUT utilizes a sophisticated Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) layer. This advanced metallurgical composition forms a highly stable oxide barrier when exposed to friction-generated heat, allowing the cutter to maintain its extreme hardness and edge retention at temperatures up to 200°C higher than standard alternatives.

In industrial applications involving stainless steel and structural steel, heat buildup is the primary enemy of tool life. The AICrN coating effectively shields the high-speed steel substrate, preventing thermal softening and ensuring consistent cutting performance over a significantly longer lifespan. This makes the 05B107 an ideal choice for automated or manual magnetic drilling operations where downtime for tool changes translates directly to lost productivity. Furthermore, the cutter features fully ground, extra-large flutes. This geometric optimization is critical for deep hole drilling, as it facilitates the rapid evacuation of metal chips (swarf), thereby reducing the risk of chip packing and binding which can shatter lesser tools.

The mechanical design also includes a universal shank, providing seamless integration with a vast array of magnetic drilling units currently deployed in the field. The modern tooth geometry is calculated to balance cutting forces, reducing the torque load on the drill motor while producing clean, burr-free holes that often require no secondary finishing. Whether utilized in a controlled workshop setting or a rugged field environment, the Walter ICECUT annular cutter delivers a combination of speed, durability, and precision that meets the rigorous standards of modern engineering and fabrication.
