Walter has introduced the D4120, an indexable insert drill, (with up to 5 x Dc) that combines superior performance, enhanced precision and cost-effectiveness due to Walter’s technological advancements.
The drill’s list of features begins with a design that facilitates easy chip removal, process reliability and close hole tolerance through hardened and polished flute surfaces. Good finished surface quality and hole tolerance is achieved through a wiper cutting edge on the periphery insert, optimized chip flute design with continuous chip evacuation, as well as a coolant-through system (one per cutting edge) for improved cooling and fast chip removal.
Cutting costs are kept lower because of four cutting edges and the long tool life characteristics provided by Tiger·tec Silver grades. The versatile D4120, which employs inserts from the P484 family, is suitable for ISO material groups P, M, K, N, S in all major industries.
Replaceable tool that clamps into a tool body, drill, mill or other cutter body designed to accommodate inserts. Most inserts are made of cemented carbide. Often they are coated with a hard material. Other insert materials are ceramic, cermet, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride and polycrystalline diamond. The insert is used until dull, then indexed, or turned, to expose a fresh cutting edge. When the entire insert is dull, it is usually discarded. Some inserts can be resharpened.
Metal-removing edge on the face of a cutter that travels in a plane perpendicular to the axis. It is the edge that sweeps the machined surface. The flat should be as wide as the feed per revolution of the cutter. This allows any given insert to wipe the entire workpiece surface and impart a fine surface finish at a high feed rate.
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.
Walter has developed the Insert Converter app, which quickly shows the insert selection with the latest Walter grades and chipbreaker geometries for an application. It is aimed at anyone who wants to enhance their machining process, increase tool life and process reliability, or improve their…
