Walter 1-7/16 Inch x 2 Inch Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter

Precision Holes in Stainless and Cast Iron

For professional welders and fabricators, drilling large diameter holes in hard metals can often be a frustrating and time-consuming process. The Walter 1-7/16" x 2" Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter (SKU: 05H407) is the solution to these challenges. Unlike standard twist drills that require massive amounts of horsepower and pressure, this annular cutter removes material only at the periphery of the hole, ejecting a solid slug. This method is not only faster but requires significantly less energy, making it perfect for use with portable magnetic drills in the shop or out in the field.

This specific cutter is a game-changer when working with difficult materials. If you have ever struggled to drill through stainless steel or cast iron with HSS bits, you know how quickly they can dull or burn up. The Walter 05H407 utilizes extra-hard carbide inserts that slice through these tough metals with ease. The result is a clean, burr-free hole that often requires no secondary finishing or deburring, allowing you to move immediately to the next stage of fabrication. The 2-inch depth of cut provides ample capacity for drilling through thick structural steel, pipe flanges, and heavy machinery components.

Versatility is key for any welder's toolkit. The Universal Shank on this Walter cutter ensures it will fit securely into the arbor of almost any standard magnetic drill press you have on hand. The specialized body design also aids in stability, making it an excellent choice for drilling on curved surfaces or overlapping holes where maintaining center is difficult. By choosing the Walter Carbide Core Cut, you aren't just buying a drill bit; you are upgrading your fabrication capabilities. Experience smoother drilling, longer tool life, and the confidence to tackle the hardest metals with precision and speed.
