Walter has introduced two new indexable insert cartridges for the Walter F2010 facemill. These cartridges, the FR751M and FR752M, bring the flexibility and performance of Walter BLAXX tangential indexable inserts to the Walter F2010 facemill. The family of indexable milling tools, characterized by precision and reliability, includes shoulder, helical and slitting mills.

Thanks to the high level of accuracy of their precision ground inserts with their Tiger-tec-Silver cutting material, together with high precision tool bodies, users of Walter BLAXX milling tools can achieve feed rate increases of up to 30 percent and often no longer require a separate finishing tool.

The FR751M and FR752M cartridges bring numerous benefits. For instance, the Walter BLAXX shoulder mill produces precise, almost step-free 90° shoulders. That system is only available for tool diameters up to 6.30" (160mm). The F2010 face mill, equipped with the FR751M or FR752M cartridge, can now bring this technology up to a diameter of 12.40" (315mm). In addition, the F2010 can now be used for fine finishing because the indexable inserts can be adjusted axially with micrometer precision.

These inserts come in two geometry variants: the L55T, a universal geometry that can be used on most materials, and the L85T, which has a particularly sharp cutting edge for machining aluminum.
