05B505 - Walter ICECUT 2-5/16 Inch Mag Drill Bit 2 Inch Depth

Advanced Drilling Performance with AICrN Technology

The Walter 05B505 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in hole-making technology for industrial fabrication. Designed with a diameter of 2-5/16 inches and a cutting depth of 2 inches, this tool is engineered to tackle the most demanding metalworking tasks. The defining feature of the ICECUT series is its exclusive coating—a sophisticated blend of chromium and aluminum (AICrN). This innovative coating provides a thermal barrier that allows the cutter to withstand temperatures up to 200°C higher than conventional Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) alternatives. This heat resistance is critical when drilling through tough alloys or in situations where lubricant flow might be intermittent or restricted.

Beyond its thermal properties, the 05B505 is constructed for mechanical efficiency. The cutter features fully ground, extra-large flutes which are essential for rapid chip evacuation. In deep hole drilling, chip buildup can cause binding and heat generation; the ICECUT's design mitigates this, ensuring a smooth, continuous cut. The modern tooth geometry is optimized to reduce vibration and initial impact shock, protecting both the tool and the magnetic drilling unit. This results in a cleaner, burr-free hole that often requires no secondary finishing operations.

Durability is paramount in production environments, and the ICECUT delivers with its hardened high-speed steel body protected by that signature AICrN layer. The coating not only resists heat but also provides a slick surface that reduces friction, further extending the tool's lifespan. Whether you are working with structural steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this cutter maintains its edge longer, reducing downtime for tool changes and lowering the overall cost per hole. It is an indispensable asset for MRO professionals and heavy fabricators seeking reliability and speed.
