Walter has introduced the new A60 and AG60 inserts for small to medium pitch threads. Just like the existing MX geometries (CF5 and GD8 for grooving and parting, RF5 for grooving and copy turning), the new MX geometries A60/AG60 provide long tool life, fine surface quality and process reliability. The inserts have four cutting edges.
The geometries are made for creating 60° partial-profile external threads in a wide range of pitches 6-48 TPI—threads per inch (0.5–3.0 mm) and are particularly suited to thread-turning in tight spaces, like near a shoulder or counter spindle. Because of the unique insert seat pockets, inserts with different thicknesses (size 2 or size 4), as well as different function (grooving or threading) can be used in the same holder. This enhances cost effectiveness and universality.
The Walter MX system is suitable for all materials and enables insert widths between 0.03-0.13 in. (0.8 and 3.25 mm) and cutting depths of up to 0.24 in. (6 mm). One special feature is the design of the insert seat. Due to its self-aligning tangential clamping, the insert is pressed against the contact points when the screw is tightened. A special dowel pin helps with accuracy of fit and simultaneously makes it impossible to mount the insert incorrectly. This results in a high degree of dimensional stability and repeat accuracy.
Machining grooves and shallow channels. Example: grooving ball-bearing raceways. Typically performed by tools that are capable of light cuts at high feed rates. Imparts high-quality finish.
When used in lathe or screw-machine operations, this process separates a completed part from chuck-held or collet-fed stock by means of a very narrow, flat-end cutting, or parting, tool.
Walter has introduced new PCBN grades for improved turning of hardened steel up to 65 HRC. These grades (WBH10C, WBH10 and WBH20) provide users with an array of benefits. High-quality surface finish due to unique new wiper geometry (MW2) and long tool life with the new TiAlSiN-coated grade (WBH10C…
Walter has announced the introduction of the TC117/TC217 Advance cut taps for high threading productivity in a wide range of different materials. The Advance lineup is one of the three categories to Walter threading tools.
Walter has added two new cast iron insert grades to its Perform Line family of turning tools, the WKV10 and WKV20. These new negative geometry grades are versatile, cost-effective inserts and are ideal for those who machine small or medium batch sizes. These new grades in the Perform Line…
Walter has added indexable inserts to the range of products available via the Walter Xpress fast delivery service. Previously the special custom solutions available with Walter Xpress had been limited to round tools and tools that hold indexable inserts.
Walter has introduced its next generation of milling tools: the Xtra·tec XT (Xtended Technology). Designed to achieve increased productivity and process reliability, this new generation of milling cutters is being launched with initial offerings of shoulder milling cutters and a facemilling cutter…
Walter has expanded its milling program with additions that allow the universal, square system inserts of its versatile M4000 milling line to be used in its F2010 program, which is a milling family that utilizes a replaceable and adjustable cartridge.
Walter has introduced the D3120, an indexable insert drill built to provide trouble-free drilling in virtually all conditions. It features square positive indexable inserts with four cutting edges, enabling it to reduce cost per cutting edge.
Walter has expanded its Tiger·tec Gold line of indexable inserts with the addition of the WMP45G grade made specifically to handle the challenges of turbine blade machining. The new WMP45G grade, available as round indexable inserts for the F2334R copy milling cutter, is for facemilling and copy…
Walter has introduced the DC150 Perform 5 × Dc drill, a versatile and cost-effective solid-carbide drill that can be used universally with all materials and with a broad range of workpieces. Like the others in the DC150 Perform Line, the new drill is suitable for use anywhere small and medium batch…
The Walter Cut MX grooving inserts deliver high levels of flatness and surface quality with their tangentially-mounted arrangement in the G3011/G3021 holders. Four cutting edges per insert multiply user productivity and, if one cutting edge breaks, the other cutting edges remain usable.
