Walter ICECUT 2-5/16 Inch Mag Drill Bit 2 Inch Depth

Precision Hole Cutting for Professional Fabricators

For welders and fabricators requiring precise, large-diameter holes in the field or the shop, the Walter 05B505 ICECUT Annular Cutter is the tool of choice. Measuring 2-5/16 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth of cut, this cutter is designed to fit universally into most magnetic drilling machines, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib. Unlike standard twist drills that require massive amounts of horsepower and pressure to remove all the material in a hole, this annular cutter removes only the periphery, ejecting a solid slug. This method is faster, requires less energy, and produces a far superior surface finish.

The secret to the ICECUT's performance lies in its specialized AICrN coating. If you work with stainless steel or aluminum, you know that heat buildup is the enemy of tool life. The aluminum-chromium blend in the coating acts as a shield against thermal shock and friction. This means you can drill confidently, even in tough structural steels, knowing the cutter won't burn out prematurely. The coating is so effective that it significantly improves performance even when lubrication is minimal, although using a quality cutting fluid is always recommended for the best results.

The 05B505 also features a robust tooth design that handles the stress of sudden impacts, which is common when breaking through the other side of a workpiece. The fully ground flutes ensure that metal chips are cleared immediately from the cutting zone, preventing clogging and breakage. Whether you are erecting steel beams, repairing heavy machinery, or fabricating custom parts, the Walter ICECUT provides the consistency and durability needed to get the job done right the first time. It turns a difficult drilling operation into a quick, routine task.
