Walter LLC has expanded its popular line of Walter Titex X-treme deep-hole micro drills with three new high performance variants: the X-treme M, X-treme DM8 and the X-treme DM12. The designation M stands for "micro" and the D for "deep."
Though used extensively in die and moldmaking, primarily in the drilling of cooling and ventilation holes required, high performance micro drills are also widely employed in the automotive and power generation industries, as well as general machining. Because the X-treme micro drills are so versatile (they can handle material groups ISO-P, M, K and N), they are suitable for these as well as a wide array of other metalworking applications.
The new Walter Titex X-treme M covers drilling depths of up to 5xD, while the DM8 and DM12 are engineered to handle depths of up to 8xD and 12xD respectively. Available in diameters ranging from 2 to 2.95mm, these solid carbide drills have been optimized to ensure an extremely high level of process reliability — particularly important where small diameters are involved. For instance, optimized point geometry ensures precise positioning on entry, while internal cooling and polished flutes with special profiling ensure heat removal and reliable chip removal.
Another key feature is their AlTiN-based coating which maximizes cutting performance and tool life. The X-treme M is coated along the entire useful length of the tool (designated as AML) As with some of the earlier members of the X-treme family, the X-treme DM8 and DM12 have a tip coating (designated as AMP).
Any manufacturing process in which metal is processed or machined such that the workpiece is given a new shape. Broadly defined, the term includes processes such as design and layout, heat-treating, material handling and inspection.
Machining vertical edges of workpieces having irregular contours; normally performed with an endmill in a vertical spindle on a milling machine or with a profiler, following a pattern. See mill, milling machine.
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…
