When making a cutting tool, I tend to think of a drill, endmill or other metalcutting tool being produced on a CNC tool and cutter grinder in a factory.

The video proves the point—YG-1's ONLY ONE end mill provides superior cutting performance to cut where others can't. Watch how coated carbide breaks down halfway through the cut and witness how HSS CO8 can't stand the heat and stops dead in its tracks.

Walter has added Walter Capto toolholders and insert widths to its Walter Cut MX grooving system. Capto toolholders feature enhanced rigidity and modularity, while the tapered polygonal shape handles both torsional and bending forces with ease. This interface can be used for lathes and turn/mill centers.
