OVERVIEW

Cut Faster, Last Longer

For welders and fabricators, time spent fighting with dull drill bits is time lost on the job. The Walter ICECUT 1-9/16" x 1" annular cutter is built to solve the common headaches associated with drilling large holes in heavy plate and beams. If you frequently work with stainless steel or structural steel, you know how quickly heat can destroy a standard bit. This cutter uses a special AICrN coating that acts like a heat shield, allowing the bit to run cooler and stay sharp much longer than the standard bits you might be used to. This means fewer tool changes and more holes drilled per hour.

One of the standout features for field work is its ability to perform well even when you can't flood the cut with coolant. While lubricant is always recommended, the high-heat resistance of the ICECUT coating gives you a safety margin when drilling in awkward positions—like overhead or vertical surfaces—where gravity makes liquid coolant hard to manage. The bit is designed to clear chips out of the hole quickly, preventing binding and keeping your magnetic drill running smoothly without bogging down.

Compatibility is key when you are moving from machine to machine. The ICECUT comes with a universal shank that fits securely into almost any standard magnetic drill press. You won't have to hunt for an adapter or worry about the bit slipping under load. Whether you are fabricating structural frames, modifying truck beds, or installing heavy machinery, this 1-9/16" cutter provides clean, burr-free holes that are ready for bolting or welding immediately. It is a tough, reliable tool that earns its place in any welder's toolbox.

FAQ

AICrN stands for Aluminum Chromium Nitride. It is a high-performance coating that withstands significantly higher temperatures (up to 200°C more) than standard TiAlN coatings, making it ideal for cutting tough metals and for situations where lubricant is limited.

Likely yes. The Walter ICECUT features a universal shank design, which is compatible with the majority of standard magnetic drilling units and stationary machines on the market.

Yes, the ICECUT series is specifically engineered to excel at drilling stainless steel, as well as aluminum and standard structural steel, due to its superior heat resistance.

This specific SKU (05B109) has a depth of cut of 1 inch.

While the AICrN coating allows for better performance in dry or low-lube conditions compared to other bits, using a lubricant or coolant is always recommended to maximize the life of the tool and the quality of the cut.

This cutter creates a hole with a diameter of 1-9/16 inches.

Yes, the coating and flute geometry are effective for drilling aluminum, preventing the material from gumming up the cutter.
