Walter SST Core Cut Annular Cutter, 7/8-Inch x 2-Inch, Universal Shank

Maximize Fabrication Speed with Walter 05E314 Core Cutters

For professional welders and fabricators, time spent drilling holes is time away from welding. The Walter 05E314 SST Core Cut Annular Cutter is built to accelerate your hole-making process without sacrificing quality. Measuring 7/8" in diameter with a generous 2" depth of cut, this tool is an essential asset for structural steel fabrication. Unlike traditional twist drills that require massive force and pre-drilling, this annular cutter removes only the periphery of the hole, ejecting a solid slug. This method requires less energy and allows for much faster penetration rates.

The "SST" in the name stands for Super Speed Tip, a technology that addresses the common pain points of metal drilling. The cutter undergoes a specialized surface treatment that creates an ultra-smooth bronze finish. This isn't just for looks; it drastically reduces the coefficient of friction as the cutter rotates. Less friction means less heat buildup, which is critical when working with work-hardening materials like stainless steel or when drilling multiple holes in rapid succession on a beam line. The modern tooth geometry is engineered to bite cleanly and maintain its edge longer, reducing the frequency of tool changes and sharpening.

Compatibility is never an issue thanks to the Universal Shank. This feature ensures that the Walter 05E314 fits securely into the arbors of most major magnetic drill brands used in the field today. The extra-large spiral flutes serve as efficient conveyors for metal chips, ejecting them quickly to keep the cutting zone clear and cool. Whether you are working on-site erecting steel structures or in the shop fabricating custom parts, the Walter SST Core Cut delivers precise, burr-free holes every time, ensuring your bolted connections fit perfectly and your project stays on schedule.
