Walter has introduced the M4130, a shoulder milling cutter that reduces costs through its ability to use Walter's universal M4000 system inserts in a variety of different applications. It's soft cutting action makes the M4130 shoulder milling cutter ideal for roughing operations involving steel, cast iron, stainless steels and materials with difficult cutting properties.

This versatile new addition to the M4000 system is also capable of plunge milling, ramping, pocket milling and circular interpolation milling. The M4130 with a 90° approach angle is available as standard in diameter ranges 16 to 100 mm with depths of cut of (8, 13 or 16 mm), depending on the size of the insert. It is also available in a wider diameter range as a "special."

The M4130's inserts, with rhombic basic shape and a 15° clearance angle, can also be used either in the routing cutters or helical milling cutters of the M4000 family. The double-edged inserts with sintered circumference are available in three sizes, each with four CVD-coated and three PVD-coated grades making it relevant for any material application.

Glossary terms in this article

  • stainless steels
    Stainless steels possess high strength, heat resistance, excellent workability and erosion resistance. Four general classes have been developed to cover a range of mechanical and p…
  • approach angle
    Angle between the insert’s side-cutting edge and the line perpendicular to the milling cutter’s axis of rotation. Approach angle, which is also known as cutting edge angle, is used…
  • milling cutter
    Loosely, any milling tool. Horizontal cutters take the form of plain milling cutters, plain spiral-tooth cutters, helical cutters, side-milling cutters, staggered-tooth side-millin…
  • plunge milling
    Highly productive method of metal removal in which an axial machining operation is performed in a single tool sequence. The tool makes a series of overlapping, drill-like plunges t…
  • interpolation
    Process of generating a sufficient number of positioning commands for the servomotors driving the machine tool so the path of the tool closely approximates the ideal path. See CNC…
