Walter Surface Technologies redesigned their line of annular core cutters making the updated product line even more resistant to impact and stress, less brittle, and impervious to deformation. The Walter core cutters now utilise a sophisticated mixture of high-speed steel and aluminium (M2Al).
Walter offers three main product lines in this category: the SST Core Cut, the ICECUT and the Carbide Core Cutters. The SST Core Cut is made with a surface treatment that reduces heat transfer and is perfect for construction sites and in manufacturing processes.
The ICECUT core cutter is coated with aluminium-chromium nitride PVD coating (AlCrN), which makes this core cutter ideal where lubricants are not permitted or problematic to apply. The ICECUT core cutter has a heat resistance over 500°C higher than a Titanium-coated cutter, and over 200°C than a Titanium-Aluminium blend.
The Carbide Core Cutter allows users to maximise productivity when cutting hard metals and uneven surfaces. 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.
