OVERVIEW

Cut Faster and Last Longer with Walter ICECUT

For professional welders and fabricators, time spent changing dull drill bits is time lost. The Walter 05B311 ICECUT Annular Cutter (11/16" x 2") is built to keep you working longer with fewer interruptions. If you frequently drill through heavy structural steel, stainless steel plate, or aluminum, you know that heat is the enemy of your tools. The ICECUT series tackles this problem head-on with a specialized AICrN coating that resists heat far better than standard high-speed steel or TiAlN bits. This means you can push your magnetic drill harder and faster without burning up the cutter.

The 11/16-inch diameter is a common size for bolt holes and pass-throughs, and the 2-inch depth of cut allows you to handle thick plate and tubing with ease. One of the standout features for the daily user is the universal shank. You don't need to worry about whether this bit will fit your rig; it is designed to lock securely into most standard magnetic drill arbors. This "plug-and-play" compatibility simplifies your workflow and reduces the need for specialized adapters.

Performance-wise, the ICECUT is a beast. The tooth geometry is aggressive enough to bite into hard metals quickly but refined enough to leave a smooth, burr-free finish that often requires no secondary deburring. The large flutes clear chips out of the hole instantly, preventing the bogging down that causes motor strain and snapped bits. Whether you are fabricating beams in the shop or modifying equipment in the field, the Walter 05B311 gives you the reliability you need to get the job done right the first time. Invest in a cutter that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating has a higher oxidation threshold and hot hardness, allowing it to withstand temperatures up to 200°C higher than TiAlN. This results in longer tool life, especially in tough materials like stainless steel.

The Walter 05B311 features a universal shank, which is designed to be compatible with the majority of standard magnetic drilling units on the market.

Yes, the ICECUT series is specifically designed to perform well in applications where lubricants are not permissible or difficult to apply, thanks to its heat-resistant coating. However, using a lubricant like Walter's ICECUT cutting fluid will always extend tool life further.

This cutter is optimized for use on stainless steel, mild steel, structural steel, and aluminum.

The 05B311 model has a depth of cut of 2 inches.

The fully ground extra-large flutes are designed to maximize chip evacuation. This prevents chips from packing inside the hole, which reduces heat generation and the risk of the cutter binding.

Typically, pilot pins are sold separately or come with the magnetic drill kit. Please check the specific packaging or accessory list, but generally, the cutter is sold as a standalone unit.

The modern tooth design and cutter geometry are engineered to reduce vibration and impact stress, providing a smoother cut and reducing wear on both the cutter and the drill motor.
