OVERVIEW

Advanced AICrN Technology for Superior Drilling Performance

The Walter 05F311 Icecut Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in hole-making technology for industrial fabrication. Sized at 11/16" diameter with a 2" depth of cut, this tool is engineered to tackle the toughest materials found in modern workshops, including stainless steel, structural steel, and aluminum. The defining feature of the Icecut series is its proprietary AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike standard high-speed steel or traditional Titanium-based coatings, AICrN is formulated to withstand extreme thermal loads. It can endure operating temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher than Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN), making it exceptionally resistant to the heat generated during aggressive drilling operations.

This thermal resilience translates directly to operational flexibility. The Walter Icecut is specifically designed to perform in environments where liquid coolants or lubricants are either prohibited, hazardous, or difficult to apply. While coolant always extends tool life, the Icecut's ability to maintain hardness and edge retention during dry cutting sets it apart from competitors. The coating also provides a slick surface that, combined with fully ground extra-large flutes, ensures rapid chip evacuation. This prevents chip clogging and heat buildup, which are common causes of premature tool failure in deep hole drilling.

Mechanically, the cutter features a sophisticated tooth geometry that balances cutting forces, reducing vibration and the risk of breakage under sudden impact. The universal shank design ensures broad compatibility, allowing this cutter to be used with a wide array of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines without the need for specialized adapters. For MRO professionals and fabricators requiring precision, speed, and durability, the Walter 05F311 offers a high-performance solution that reduces downtime and increases cost-efficiency per hole.
