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 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…
Walter has introduced new parting blade adapters for BMT/DO machines that ensure precision cooling of both the insert and the parting blade, thus improving chip control and tool life, and helping to increase productivity. With the Walter design, the coolant flows through the adapter directly into…
Walter USA LLC offers a solid-carbide, through-coolant drill for ISO-P and ISO-K materials. The design allows coolant flow to encompass the entire drill point, producing optimal cooling of both the drill and the tool/workpiece interface, according to the company. Controlling the coolant flow…
Designed to improve the manufacturing process, the new Walter Tool-ID system reportedly allows users to transfer tool data from the presetting device to the machine tool and evaluate the parameters that are run on the machine, according to a Feb. 2 news release from Walter USA LLC, Waukesha, Wis.…
Walter has introduced Walter Turn Precision Coolant, a powerful and targeted coolant delivery system that produces a direct coolant supply through the insert clamp and along the flank face of the insert. The result is said to be a 30- to 150-percent increase in tool life (depending on material and…
