05F100 - Walter ICECUT 1-Inch Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Thermal Stability for Precision Drilling

The Walter 05F100 ICECUT Annular Cutter is a high-performance tooling solution designed to redefine efficiency in metal drilling operations. Engineered with a specific focus on thermal management, this 1-inch diameter cutter utilizes an exclusive Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AlCrN) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coatings, the AlCrN layer provides a significantly higher oxidation threshold, allowing the tool to maintain its hardness and cutting edge integrity at elevated temperatures. This capability makes the ICECUT series particularly effective in applications where the use of liquid coolants or lubricants is restricted, impractical, or prohibited.

The cutter features a 1-inch depth of cut and is constructed with fully ground, extra-large flutes. This geometric design is critical for rapid chip evacuation, preventing heat buildup caused by chip recutting and friction. The modern tooth profile is precision-ground to ensure aggressive penetration with minimal vibration, resulting in accurate, burr-free holes in a variety of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and structural steel. The inclusion of a universal shank ensures broad compatibility, allowing this cutter to be utilized across a wide spectrum of magnetic drilling units and stationary machine tools without the need for specialized adapters.

Durability is central to the ICECUT design. The specialized coating not only resists heat but also enhances the tool's resistance to impact and mechanical stress. This ensures consistent performance under heavy loads and extends the service life of the cutter, providing excellent value for industrial fabrication environments requiring reliable, high-speed hole production.
