05F013 - 13/16" x 1" ICECUT Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Drilling Performance with Walter ICECUT Technology

The Walter 05F013 is a premium 13/16" x 1" ICECUT™ Annular Cutter designed to redefine performance standards in heavy-duty metal drilling. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this cutter utilizes a state-of-the-art Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating. Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, the exclusive AICrN mixture provides exceptional thermal stability. This allows the cutter to withstand operating temperatures at least 200 degrees Celsius higher than conventional alternatives, making it the ideal choice for challenging materials like stainless steel where heat generation is a primary failure mode.

One of the standout features of the ICECUT series is its capability to perform in environments where liquid lubricants are either prohibited or difficult to apply. The advanced coating acts as a thermal barrier, preventing the cutter from overheating and maintaining hardness even under extreme stress. This "dry drilling" capability, or near-dry performance, significantly improves workflow efficiency in fabrication shops and on construction sites where mess reduction is critical. The cutter geometry features fully ground, extra-large flutes which facilitate rapid chip evacuation, preventing clogging and ensuring a smooth, clean hole every time.

The 05F013 model is equipped with a Universal Shank, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple adapter systems, streamlining tool inventory for professionals. The modern tooth design is precision-ground to bite into the material aggressively yet smoothly, reducing the mechanical load on the drill motor and minimizing vibration. Whether you are working on structural steel erection, custom fabrication, or maintenance repairs, the Walter ICECUT annular cutter delivers precision, speed, and longevity that standard high-speed steel cutters cannot match.

Key Technical Benefits

The specific blend of chromium and aluminum in the coating not only resists heat but also enhances the surface hardness of the tool. This makes the ICECUT particularly resistant to the instant impact forces encountered when the cutter first contacts the workpiece, as well as the continuous stress under load during the cut. For professionals demanding the longest life and fastest cut in stainless steel and hard alloys, this tool is the superior solution.
