05B615 - Walter Icecut 15/16-Inch x 3-Inch Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Advanced Holemaking with Walter Icecut Technology

The Walter 05B615 Icecut Annular Cutter represents the pinnacle of core drilling technology, designed specifically for industrial professionals who demand precision, speed, and longevity. Measuring 15/16 inches in diameter with a substantial 3-inch depth of cut, this tool is engineered to tackle the most demanding fabrication tasks. At the heart of its performance is the sophisticated AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating. Unlike standard high-speed steel or TiAlN-coated bits, the Icecut's unique chemical composition allows it to withstand significantly higher operating temperatures—up to 200°C more than conventional alternatives. This thermal resilience is critical when drilling through tough alloys like stainless steel or structural steel, where friction heat can rapidly degrade cutting edges.

One of the standout features of the Icecut series is its suitability for environments where liquid coolants are either prohibited or difficult to apply. While lubrication is always beneficial, the lubricity and heat dissipation properties of the AICrN coating allow this cutter to perform exceptionally well even in near-dry conditions. This makes it a favorite for overhead drilling or on-site construction work where mess must be minimized. The cutter features a universal shank, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of magnetic drilling units, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib.

Beyond the coating, the physical geometry of the 05B615 is optimized for efficiency. It boasts fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation. In deep hole drilling (up to 3 inches), chip packing is a common cause of tool failure; Walter’s design ensures that swarf is cleared effectively, reducing drag and preventing binding. The modern tooth geometry cuts cleanly and aggressively, producing burr-free holes that often require no secondary finishing. Whether you are working with aluminum, stainless steel, or heavy structural plate, the Walter Icecut delivers consistent, high-quality results hole after hole.
