Walter has broadened its line of boring tools with the introduction of the B3220 boring cartridge for axial-radial offset roughing (ARS), expanding on previous methods that were either symmetrical or asymmetrical. This versatile new tool, designed for use with the Walter B3220 but which can be used with the Walter B3221 and B3224 boring tools as well, brings the capabilities of axial-radial offset roughing (ARS) to an array of new applications.
By doubling the tool’s cutting widths, the new cartridge increases metal-removal rates, saving time and, thus, money. Costs are further decreased since the B3220 boring cartridge saves users the need for additional processing steps and tools. In addition, the tool provides good chip control, stable machining conditions and heightened process reliability.
All common ISO materials can be machined with the B3220 boring cartridge, which can accept an extensive range of indexable inserts. It excels at thru hole, line hole, and step cuts and is ideally suited for chassis, large engine and gearbox roughing in the automotive industry. In general engineering it finds application in the roughing of bearing holes, machine housings and compressor housings. In the railway industry it brings new efficiencies to chassis roughing.
Enlarging a hole that already has been drilled or cored. Generally, it is an operation of truing the previously drilled hole with a single-point, lathe-type tool. Boring is essentially internal turning, in that usually a single-point cutting tool forms the internal shape. Some tools are available with two cutting edges to balance cutting forces.
Walter USA LLC has announced that its Tiger-tec Silver for Turning product line has fielded four new cutting tool insert geometries: the RP5 for roughing, the MP5 for medium machining, the MP3 for low carbon steels, and the FP5 for finishing.
Walter has introduced E47, the versatile new counterboring insert geometry designed for use with the Walter BoringMEDIUM and Walter BoringMAXI tooling systems.
Walter USA LLC has unveiled the latest version of the Walter Prototyp Paradur Eco Plus blind hole tap, a versatile performer that also offers long tool life plus enhanced reliability.
Walter USA LLC has announced that Tiger-tec Silver, its high-performance aluminum oxide coating that has been boosting the productivity of its milling and turning inserts, is now available for its Xtra-tec Insert Drills as well.
Walter USA LLC has introduced the Walter Prototyp Proto-max Inox, a solid carbide end mill that typically boosts stainless steel machining performance by as much as 50 percent when compared with conventional, universal solid carbide end mills.
Walter USA LLC has introduced Blaxx, a new shoulder mill that reportedly combines precision, high metal removal rates and process reliability in a single tool, with a high-gloss black finish that is both wear and corrosion resistant.
