Walter ICECUT Annular Cutter 1-3/16 Inch x 2 Inch Universal Shank

Heavy-Duty Annular Cutter for Structural Fabrication

Welders and fabricators know that drilling large diameter holes in structural steel requires a tool that can handle the heat and the stress of the job site. The Walter 05F403 ICECUT Annular Cutter (1-3/16" x 2") is built exactly for these demanding conditions. At the core of its performance is the revolutionary AlCrN coating. This specialized coating forms a hard, heat-resistant barrier that protects the cutting edge, allowing you to drill through tough materials like stainless steel and structural beams without burning out the bit. This is especially critical when working in positions or locations where using a steady stream of coolant isn't practical.

Time is money on the fabrication floor, and the ICECUT is designed to save both. The universal shank allows this cutter to snap into almost any standard magnetic drill press, eliminating the frustration of hunting for the right arbor or adapter. Once locked in, the fully ground oversized flutes clear metal shavings rapidly, keeping the cut clean and reducing the physical strain on both the drill motor and the operator. The result is a clean, precise 1-3/16" hole ready for bolting or welding, achieved in less time than with conventional twist drills or inferior core bits.

Durability is a key feature of the Walter ICECUT series. The cutter geometry is engineered to resist the shock of initial impact when the teeth first bite into the metal, reducing the risk of chipping. Whether you are drilling thick plates, pipes, or profiles, this cutter maintains its edge longer, reducing downtime for tool changes. For welders who demand professional-grade consumables that work as hard as they do, the Walter 05F403 is an essential addition to the tool crib.
