Walter 16mm TCT Annular Cutter 30mm Depth

Cut Cleaner, Faster Holes in Stainless and Cast Iron

For welders and fabricators, time is money, and hole preparation is often a bottleneck. The Walter 16mm x 30mm Carbide Core Cut (SKU: 05F116) is designed to speed up your workflow by drilling large diameter holes faster and cleaner than conventional twist drills. This annular cutter is specifically built for use with magnetic drilling machines, making it a staple for structural steel work, pipe fitting, and heavy equipment repair.

The standout feature of this cutter is its tungsten carbide tips. If you have ever struggled to drill through stainless steel or cast iron with a standard bit, you know how quickly they can burn up. This Walter cutter is formulated to resist the intense heat generated by these tough materials. The carbide tips slice through the metal rather than grinding it away, producing a solid slug and leaving a smooth, precise hole that is ready for bolting or welding immediately. The 16mm diameter is a common size for bolt holes, and the 30mm depth allows you to penetrate thick plate and tubing with ease.

Beyond just speed, this cutter offers excellent stability. Its robust body design minimizes vibration, which is crucial when drilling on curved surfaces like pipes or uneven castings. The specialized flute geometry helps eject chips rapidly, keeping the cutting zone cool and preventing the cutter from jamming. This means less operator fatigue and less wear and tear on your magnetic drill motor.

Whether you are fabricating in the shop or performing repairs in the field, the Walter 05F116 gives you the confidence to tackle hard materials without constantly swapping out burnt bits. It is an essential accessory for any welder who demands professional results and efficiency. Pair it with a high-quality cutting lubricant to maximize its lifespan and performance even further.
