OVERVIEW

Unmatched Durability for the Professional Fabricator

When your project demands precision holes in heavy plate, the Walter ICECUT 2-1/4" x 2" Annular Cutter (05B504) is the tool you can trust to get the job done right the first time. Welders and fabricators know that drilling large diameter holes in stainless steel or structural beams can destroy lesser bits in minutes. Walter has solved this problem with their revolutionary ICECUT technology. By utilizing a sophisticated AICrN coating, this cutter resists the extreme heat generated during aggressive drilling, staying sharp long after other bits have dulled or burned up.

This cutter is a game-changer for field work where using flood coolant isn't always an option. The advanced coating acts as a thermal barrier and lubricant, allowing for efficient cutting even in near-dry conditions. This makes it perfect for overhead drilling or working on vertical surfaces where liquid coolant would be messy or hazardous. The 2-inch depth of cut provides ample capacity for drilling through thick I-beam flanges, plates, and tubing. The universal shank slides easily into your magnetic drill, locking securely for safe, slip-free operation.

Beyond just durability, the ICECUT is designed for speed. The specialized tooth geometry bites into the metal instantly, reducing the feed pressure required by the operator. This means less fatigue for you and faster cycle times for your production. Whether you are fabricating custom machinery, repairing heavy equipment, or erecting steel structures, the Walter 05B504 provides the reliability and performance professional welders demand. Stop wasting time changing out dull bits and switch to the cutter that is built to last.

FAQ

The AICrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) coating can withstand temperatures up to 200°C higher than TiAlN, providing superior heat resistance and longer tool life, especially in tough materials like stainless steel.

Yes, the ICECUT series is designed for applications where lubricants cannot be used or are difficult to apply, thanks to its heat-resistant coating, though using a lubricant stick or paste is still recommended for maximum life.

This cutter features a Universal Shank, making it compatible with the majority of magnetic drilling units on the market.

The Walter 05B504 has a depth of cut capacity of 2 inches.

Yes, the geometry and coating are effective for aluminum, as well as stainless steel and structural steel.

This specific model drills a 2-1/4 inch diameter hole.

Yes, like most annular cutters, a pilot pin is recommended to center the cut and eject the slug after drilling.

Yes, HSS annular cutters can typically be resharpened, though the specialized AICrN coating would be removed from the cutting face during the process.
