Walter 1-1/16 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter 2 Inch Depth

Drill Tough Metals with Confidence

Every welder knows the frustration of burning through drill bits when working with stainless steel or heavy plate. The Walter 05D401 1-1/16" x 2" Carbide Core Cut annular cutter is the solution for fabricators who demand reliability and speed. Designed specifically for use with magnetic drills, this cutter features ultra-hard carbide tips that slice through the toughest metals where standard bits fail. Whether you are fabricating structural beams, repairing heavy equipment, or installing piping, this tool allows you to drill clean, precise holes quickly and effortlessly.

The secret to the Walter Carbide Core Cut's performance lies in its advanced design. Traditional twist drills require massive amounts of pressure and remove all the material in the hole as chips. This annular cutter, however, cuts only the periphery of the hole, ejecting a solid slug at the end of the cut. This method requires less horsepower and less physical force from the operator. Combined with Walter's exclusive flute geometry, which clears chips instantly, you can drill faster without overheating the bit or the material. This is especially critical when working with stainless steel, where heat buildup can cause the material to work-harden and destroy your tool.

Versatility is key in any welding shop. This cutter isn't just for flat plate; it is engineered to handle curved surfaces and uneven terrain, making it perfect for pipe work and field repairs. It works exceptionally well on cast iron, aluminum, copper, and brass, giving you one go-to tool for multiple jobs. The 2-inch depth of cut provides ample capacity for drilling through thick flanges and stacked plates. Stop wasting time sharpening dull bits and start drilling cleaner holes faster with the power of carbide.

Investing in the Walter 05D401 means investing in your productivity. The clean finish it leaves often means you can skip the grinder and move straight to assembly or welding. It fits standard magnetic drill arbors, making it an easy upgrade for your existing equipment. When the job calls for serious drilling power, trust the cutter that is built to last.
