Redesigned High Performance Annular Core Cutters

"Walter Surface Technologies has redesigned its line of annular core cutters to make the updated product line more resistant to impact and stress, less brittle and impervious to deformation," said a company spokesperson. The Walter core cutters now utilize a mixture of high-speed steel and aluminum (M2Al). Walter offers three main product lines in this category: the SST Core Cut, the ICECUT and the Carbide Core Cutters.

The uncoated SST Core Cut is made with a surface treatment designed to reduce heat transfer for longer life. The SST Core Cut is designed for construction sites and manufacturing processes.

The ICECUT core cutter features an aluminum chromium nitride PVD coating (AlCrN) for applications where lubricants are not permitted or problematic to apply. This coating forms a nano-sized lubrication layer when heated, which is designed to prevent debris from rubbing, melting or deforming onto the metal. "The ICECUT core cutter has a heat resistance over 500 °C higher than a titanium coated cutter, and over 200 °C than a titanium aluminum blend," said the spokesperson. Both the SST and ICECUT feature a multiple tooth design. The teeth of the core cutters are made at various heights and depths to provide a faster drilling time.

"The Carbide Core Cutter, Walter's top performing cutter, allows users to maximize productivity when cutting hard metals and uneven surfaces," said the spokesperson. "It is primarily designed for extreme applications and can pierce through abrasive materials and non-ferrous metals such as stainless steel. It has a special lubricant zone that allows lubricants to get closer to the teeth, resulting in a cooler and smoother cut."
