OVERVIEW

Advanced Hole-Making Technology for Industrial Applications

The Walter 05B613 13/16" x 3" Icecut Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in metal drilling technology, specifically engineered for industrial environments where efficiency and tool longevity are paramount. Unlike traditional high-speed steel cutters or standard Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coated bits, the Icecut series utilizes a proprietary Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AICrN) coating. This advanced tribological coating is synthesized to withstand extreme thermal loads, maintaining hardness and cutting edge integrity at temperatures up to 200°C higher than conventional coatings. This makes the Icecut particularly effective in automated or semi-automated drilling operations where heat buildup is a constant challenge.

The physical geometry of the cutter is as impressive as its chemical composition. Walter has engineered this tool with fully ground, extra-large flutes. In deep hole drilling—up to 3 inches with this specific model—chip evacuation is critical to preventing binding and breakage. The Icecut's flute design ensures that swarf is ejected rapidly, keeping the cutting zone clear and reducing secondary friction. This design feature, combined with the slick surface of the AICrN coating, allows the cutter to perform exceptionally well even in applications where external liquid coolants cannot be applied copiously, although the use of Walter Coolcut lubricants is always recommended to maximize performance.

Versatility is key for MRO and fabrication shops. The 05B613 features a universal shank, making it compatible with the vast majority of magnetic drilling units and stationary drill presses currently in service. Whether working on mild steel, structural beams, or work-hardening stainless steel, this annular cutter delivers precise, burr-free holes with minimal machine stress. By reducing the heat generated during the cut, the Icecut not only protects the tool itself but also preserves the metallurgical properties of the surrounding workpiece, preventing heat-affected zones that can compromise structural integrity.

FAQ

AICrN stands for Aluminum Chromium Nitride. It is a high-performance coating that provides superior hardness and oxidation resistance, allowing the cutter to withstand significantly higher temperatures than standard TiAlN coatings.

Yes, the Walter Icecut is excellent for stainless steel. Its heat-resistant coating prevents the work-hardening often associated with drilling stainless, ensuring a cleaner cut and longer tool life.

This cutter features a Universal Shank, which is designed to fit the majority of standard magnetic drilling units and stationary machines available on the market.

While the Icecut is engineered to handle high heat and can perform where lubricants are not feasible, using a quality cutting lubricant like Walter Coolcut is always recommended to extend the life of the tool and improve the cut quality.

The Walter 05B613 has a depth of cut of 3 inches, allowing it to drill through thick materials or stacked plates.

Yes, like most annular cutters, a pilot pin is required to center the cut and eject the slug (core) after the hole is completed. Ensure you have the correct length pin for a 3-inch depth cutter.

An annular cutter only cuts the periphery of the hole, leaving a solid core (slug). This requires less energy and torque than a twist drill, which must turn all the material into chips, resulting in faster, cleaner holes.

Yes, annular cutters can typically be resharpened, provided the damage is not too severe. However, the specialized coating will be removed from the ground surfaces during the process.
