13/16" x 1" ICECUT Annular Cutter with Universal Shank

Walter 05F013: The Ultimate Solution for Tough Metal Drilling

Maximize your productivity with the Walter 13/16" x 1" ICECUT™ Annular Cutter, a tool built to conquer the toughest drilling applications in the industry. This high-performance cutter (SKU: 05F013) represents a significant leap forward in core drilling technology. At its heart lies an exclusive high-technology coating composed of a unique mixture of chromium and aluminum (AICrN). This innovative coating is engineered to outperform standard Titanium-based coatings by a wide margin, offering superior resistance to heat and wear. When drilling through tough metals like stainless steel, heat is the enemy; the ICECUT's ability to run cooler ensures the cutting edges stay sharp longer, reducing downtime for tool changes.

Designed for the modern fabricator, the ICECUT annular cutter features a Universal Shank, making it instantly compatible with the majority of magnetic drills on the market today. This "plug-and-play" convenience is matched by the tool's sophisticated geometry. The cutter boasts fully ground, extra-large flutes that rapidly channel chips away from the cutting zone. This is crucial when drilling deep holes or working with gummy materials, as it prevents heat buildup caused by friction from trapped swarf. The result is a cleaner, burr-free hole that often requires no secondary finishing operations.

The 05F013 is specifically optimized for scenarios where traditional lubrication is not an option. Thanks to the self-lubricating properties and high thermal threshold of the AICrN coating, this cutter excels in dry cutting applications or situations where minimal lubrication is preferred to avoid contamination. This makes it a favorite in industries such as food processing equipment fabrication, where lubricant usage is strictly controlled. With a cutting depth of 1 inch and a diameter of 13/16 inch, this tool is perfectly sized for bolt holes and conduit pass-throughs in structural beams, plates, and piping.

Durability Meets Precision

Walter Surface Technologies has designed the ICECUT series to withstand high stress under load. The modern tooth design balances cutting forces, ensuring stability and accuracy throughout the cut. By choosing the Walter 05F013, welders and MRO professionals are investing in a tool that delivers faster penetration rates, extended tool life, and the reliability needed to keep projects on schedule and within budget.
