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.
WCH10C inserts deliver high repeat accuracy due to its sintering process and are tough and wear resistant due to the strong connection to their titanium carbide substrate. Optimum surface quality is promoted as well by their uniform grain distribution in the substrate, The new Walter coated mixed…
The Xtra·Tec XT M5468 provides protection against twisting and cutting-edge rotation due to the eight facets on its indexable inserts. It also yields maximum productivity thanks to its ability to support optimum cutting data and promote long tool life, as well as maximum process stability due to…
The WHH15X grade features HIPIMS technology for excellent coating adhesion and a high degree of hardness, and AlTiN coating optimized for hard machining; this results in an extremely smooth surface for the best chip removal and high surface quality. This new grade also has an extremely wear-…
The TC430 Supreme thread former, specialized for ISO P materials, is for blind-hole and through-hole threads up to 3.5 x DN. Multiple coolant configurations are offered to best optimize performance—axial or radial coolant, with or without lubrication grooves. This HSS-E-PM thread former with AlCrN…
The TC420 Supreme includes one configuration with chamfer form E, (M5–M16) for blind-hole threads up to 3.5 × DN, which uses an innovative combination of chamfer form E with axial internal coolant and without lubrication grooves. This new combination also improves the lubrication and, at the same…
The new cylindrical modular interface makes it easy to change existing copy, chamfer and shoulder milling tools, with no need to invest in new adaptors. It is easy to assemble and dismantle. Plus, the cylindrical centering reduces runout while providing a support face for good stability. Thanks to…
The FW5 wiper geometries, with a new wiper curved cutting edge and V chip formation for short chips, can also be used on components with long overhangs thanks to the reduced cutting pressure. In addition, the MW5, with its longer cutting edge, is suitable for the highest feeds. The FW5 and MW5 are…
The P6006 insert can perform up to 10 x Dc without the need for a pilot drill. It features a protective chamfer on the insert with HIPIMS-PVD coating, and the wear resistant WPP25 grade which leads to maximum tool life in stable conditions. Further, the insert has a 100° prism for the contact point…
Walter's T2710 indexable thread milling cutter can be used universally in steels, stainless steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and hardened steels up to 55 HRC. It machines threads with nominal diameter from 0.79 in. (20 mm), and pitch range of 1.5 - 6 mm/18-6 TPI…
This innovative insert seating substantially eliminates the tendency for vibrations, increasing insert life as well as tool holder life. The design also prevents incorrect engagement, especially for narrow insert widths, and enables an extremely high indexing accuracy. Elevated protective edge is…
