OVERVIEW

Walter 05B401 Icecut: The Ultimate Mag Drill Bit for Stainless & Steel

Upgrade your magnetic drill's performance with the Walter 05B401 Icecut Annular Cutter. Sized at 1-1/16 inches in diameter with a generous 2-inch depth of cut, this tool is built to tackle the toughest metals you encounter in the shop or field. If you frequently drill stainless steel, aluminum, or heavy structural steel, you know that heat is the enemy of tool life. The Icecut solves this with its state-of-the-art AICrN coating. This silver-grey coating isn't just for looks; it provides exceptional lubricity and heat resistance, allowing the cutter to run cooler and last longer than conventional bits.

Why choose an annular cutter over a traditional twist drill? Efficiency. The Walter Icecut removes only the material at the periphery of the hole, ejecting a solid slug at the end of the cut. This requires less horsepower and thrust, meaning less physical strain on the operator and the machine. The 05B401 is specifically designed with fully ground flutes that clear chips rapidly, preventing the binding and heat buildup that can snap lesser bits. The result is a clean, precise hole with minimal burr, ready for bolting or welding immediately.

This cutter is a workhorse for welders and fabricators. Its robust construction resists breakage, while the sophisticated tooth geometry ensures fast penetration rates. Whether you are fabricating custom frames, repairing heavy equipment, or erecting steel structures, the 2-inch depth capacity allows you to drill through thick stock or stacked plates in a single pass. The universal-style shank ensures it fits securely into most standard magnetic drill presses available on the market.

Don't let dull bits slow down your production. The Walter Icecut 05B401 offers the reliability you need to keep the sparks flying and the jobs moving. Pair it with a high-quality cutting lubricant like Walter Coolcut for even better performance and extended tool life. Invest in professional-grade tooling that matches the quality of your welding and fabrication work.

FAQ

The 05B401 features an AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating, which provides superior heat resistance and lubricity compared to standard TiN coatings.

Yes, the Icecut series is specifically engineered for high performance on stainless steel, as well as aluminum and mild steel.

This specific cutter (05B401) has a depth of cut (DOC) of 2 inches.

It typically features a standard Weldon shank, making it compatible with the majority of magnetic drilling units on the market.

While the coating helps reduce heat, using a cutting lubricant like Walter Coolcut is highly recommended to maximize tool life and cut quality.

The 05B401 creates a hole with a diameter of 1-1/16 inches.

An annular cutter cuts only the perimeter of the hole, removing a solid slug. This requires less energy and time than converting the entire hole volume into chips like a twist drill.

Yes, the geometry and coating of the Icecut make it very effective for drilling aluminum without the material galling or sticking to the bit.
