Walter ICECUT 1-3/8 Inch x 1 Inch Depth Annular Cutter with AICrN Coating

Heavy-Duty Hole Cutting for Professional Welders

When you are out in the field or working on a tight deadline in the shop, you need a mag drill bit that won't quit halfway through a piece of I-beam. The Walter 05B106 ICECUT Annular Cutter is built for exactly those demanding moments. Sized at 1-3/8 inches in diameter with a 1-inch depth of cut, this cutter is designed to chew through steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with speed and precision. If you have ever burned up a bit drilling stainless because it got too hot, you will appreciate the technology packed into this tool. It uses a special AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating that handles heat far better than standard bits, meaning it runs cooler and lasts longer, even if you can't get a steady stream of coolant on it.

The design of the ICECUT isn't just about the coating; it's about getting the job done faster. The extra-large flutes clear metal chips out of the hole quickly, preventing the bit from clogging or binding up. This is essential when you are drilling thick structural steel and need a clean, burr-free hole for bolting. The cutter's geometry is optimized to cut smoothly, reducing the strain on your magnetic drill motor and your arm. Because it generates less heat, the metal around the hole doesn't work-harden as much, which is a huge plus if you need to tap threads or do secondary operations later.

Compatibility is key for welders who use different tools on different sites. The 05B106 features a universal shank, so it snaps right into most standard magnetic drill presses without fighting with adapters. Whether you are retrofitting steel structures, fabricating custom parts, or doing maintenance repair operations (MRO), this cutter is a reliable workhorse. It is tough enough to handle the shock and impact of starting a cut on uneven surfaces and durable enough to keep its edge hole after hole.

Stop wasting money on cheap bits that dull after a few uses. Upgrade to the Walter ICECUT for your 1-3/8" holes and experience the difference that premium coating and geometry make. It is the smart choice for welders who value their time and need tools that perform as hard as they do.
