Milling Cutters

Walter has added to its range of solid-carbide milling cutters with the introduction of its MC232 Perform product line. This versatile, cost-effective new cutter type is available with 2, 3 or 4 flutes, in a diameter range of 1/8 in. to 5/8 in. (2 to 20 mm).

Power, speed, tactics, stamina – successful boxers need to bring together many different characteristics to emerge victorious from the ring. This image of versatility and talent is an apt metaphor for the new four-edged FIGHTMAX HPC roughing/finishing endmill for steel materials without a significant chromium content, developed by Inovatools.

New from Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc. is the TSX series tangential milling cutter that is designed for exceptionally efficient shoulder milling. For stable, highly efficient machining at high feed rates, the TSX series is engineered with a tough and sharp cutting edge, according to the company. It provides the strength required for increased depths of cut ranging from a small job to a heavy-duty roughing application.

Fast and reliable milling of stainless steel, titanium, heat-resistant alloys or even CrC alloys is a huge challenge for many machine operators and tool manufacturers. To overcome the challenge, the Swiss cutting tool manufacturer Mikron Tool launched CrazyMill Cool, a product family that promises a valuable solution in a diameter range from 0.3 mm (0.012”) to 8 mm (0.315”). CrazyMill Cool Ball is the newest product of this line.
