Cutting Tools & Tooling

The HM geometry has a highly negative and narrow T-land, as well as a positive rake to reduce vibration and enable a smoother cutting action. Together, these improve the durability and process security, prolonging tool life in the relevant materials by up to 50%, compared to the existing assortment.

The primary applications for the DC183 Supreme solid carbide drill are machining steel, cast iron and non-ferrous materials (ISO P, K and N). The secondary applications are super alloys and stainless-steel materials (ISO S and M). The main targeted areas of use are automotive, aviation and energy industries, mold and die making, and general mechanical engineering.

Solutions are shared for common challenges.

Dia-Strip and Dia-Sheet lapping and polishing film incorporates pure virgin diamond powders in their highest concentrated forms. This slows for maximum material strength, durability, and performance. The powders are first expertly graded for uniformity, and then held into place by a thin nickel.

The WKK25G grade is a true specialist when milling today's cast irons (ISO K material group), such as ductile cast iron. Specifically, the grade is ideal for unfavorable milling conditions, such as interrupted cuts, and for wet machining applications.

The metric VariMill Chip Splitters feature a design that actively controls chip size resulting in easier chip evacuation in deep cavities. The end mills include five- and seven-flute configurations from 8mm-20mm metric standard diameters. The five-flute tool maximizes performance in steel materials while the seven-flute tool excels in stainless steel and high-temperature alloys.

The peripherally ground insert offers improved wall accuracy and straightness and creates a true 90° corner. The LNEX12 also featuring a patented U-groove segment on all four cutting edges which provide a good surface finish and expand its application range to low-power machines and small depths of cut.

The new generation of threading tools — with new features that offer high-performance machining and outstanding tool life. Cut taps and form taps — Pionex offers universal application in a wide variety of materials.

With over 3,000 new products in inch sizes, Walter has expanded its industry leading line of solid carbide milling tools. The newest lineup of tools provide cost-efficiency for different milling processes including slotting, ramping, roughing and finishing. With unique geometries and improved coatings, there are tools for all applications and all materials.

Ideal for holemaking without a pilot drill up to 10×Dc, the inserts provide time savings that boost productivity. The inserts were designed to achieve maximum tool life in stable machining conditions thanks to the wear resistant WPP25 grade with HIPIMS technology. The grade has a particularly hard and robust substrate to extend tool life.

Manufacturer seeks cost-effective thread shafts with shorter lead times

When using indexable inserts, employ fine adjustment cartridges made for the 21st century.
