Walter USA LLC, a cutting tool manufacturer in Waukesha, Wisconsin, plans to showcase several cutting tool technologies at the EASTEC '21 and SOUTHTEC '21, trade shows.

Eastec is scheduled for Oct 19 – Oct 21 at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Southec is scheduled for Oct 26 – 28 at the Greenville Convention Center in Greenville, South Carolina.

The company will feature the Walter Xtra∙tec XT M5130 family of milling cutters, and the Walter Cut DX grooving system, which is based on the SmartLock system, which provides a reliable positive-locking of the insert.

In addition, the Tiger·tec Gold WSP45G PVD cutting material for milling and drilling difficult to machine stainless steels and high temperature alloys as well as steels will be featured, expanding the reach of Tiger·tec Gold into applications further into aerospace and energy industries.

Also showcased will be Walter's solid carbide end mills. The MD133 dynamic milling tools will be joined by new MD838 and MD839 circle segment cutters for high productivity finishing as well as MD377 tools for titanium roughing to semi-finishing with high metal removal rates.

In addition, the company presents its range of Walter Titex DC160 solid carbide drills with XD Technology for deep hole drilling up to 30 x Dc without pecking in nearly all material groups.

The exhibit also demonstrates the Walter Online catalog and its tool specific search capabilities, Walter GPS to find optimum machining solutions and Walter Innotime to find the most cost-effective machining solutions.
