Walter 11/16 Inch x 2 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter

Unmatched Drilling Power for Welders

For professional welders and fabricators, time is money, and a dull drill bit is a major bottleneck. The Walter 11/16" x 2" Carbide Core Cut Annular Cutter (05D311) is built to keep your fabrication projects moving, regardless of the material. While HSS bits struggle and burn out on hard metals like stainless steel and armor plate, this carbide-tipped powerhouse cuts through them with ease. It is the ultimate accessory for your magnetic drill, transforming difficult hole-making jobs into quick, routine tasks.

Why choose carbide? In the welding world, you often encounter materials that have been hardened by heat or are naturally abrasive, like cast iron or rust-covered structural steel. The Walter Carbide Core Cut is designed with an aggressive cutting geometry that slices through these tough surfaces rather than grinding them away. This means less pressure is needed on the drill handle, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. The 2-inch depth capacity allows you to drill through thick plates, stacked laminations, or pipe walls in a single pass, ensuring perfect alignment for bolting or riveting.

Durability is built into every aspect of this cutter. The specialized flute design ejects hot chips quickly, keeping the cutting edge cool and sharp for longer. This is particularly important when drilling dry or with minimal lubrication in field conditions, although coolant is always recommended for maximum life. Whether you are retrofitting steel beams, repairing heavy machinery, or fabricating custom vessels, the Walter 05D311 delivers clean, precise holes that require little to no deburring, letting you get straight to welding or assembly.

Built for the Toughest Jobs

Don't let hard spots or uneven surfaces slow you down. This cutter excels where others fail, providing stability and speed even on curved surfaces like pipes. By choosing the Walter Carbide Core Cut, you are equipping your shop with a tool that matches the high standards of your welding work—strong, reliable, and built to last.
