Milling Cutters

Walter has introduced the M2136, a multitooth close-pitch finishing cutter that features a high degree of process reliability coupled with superior cost effectiveness, particularly with cast iron, thanks in part to its eight cutting edges per insert. These stable, negative inserts promote not only stability but also ease of handling as well as leading to high levels of surface quality during the finishing process.

A heavy-duty ID clamping pipe milling end prep tool that can J-prep bevel, face and bore all hard pipe alloys in preparation for orbital welding is available from ESCO Tool. The Esco Prepzilla Millhog ID clamping end prep tool is offered with a wide selection of cutting blades, including a J-preparation blade that creates a consistent contoured radius and clean neck for orbital welding.

The new R220.88 facemilling cutter family from Seco features inserts with eight cutting edges and optimized geometries that provide excellent tool life and reduced cutting forces. The cutter body’s 88-degree lead angle allows for large depths of cut with smaller insert sizes, as compared to 45-degree lead angle facemills.

The MicroCut F miniature chamfer milling cutter from Denitool Inc. is for tube-end treatment and chamfering of small- to medium-size threads and countersinks. It is suitable for bore diameters as small as 2mm (0.079") in diameter.

Tungaloy Corp. is continuously expanding its TungMeister changeable-head endmill system. The latest addition involves a new line of modular heads for the TungForce-Rec indexable miniature shoulder milling cutter series.

Controx milling cutters are suitable for the grooving of rotary vane and turbo pump rotors and other rotors requiring precision depth and width control. Slot widths of up to 5/8” and depths to 3” are possible with or without contour in the slot base.
