Despite a growing trend towards lightweight construction, steel machining still represents a significant market share. With the MD340 and MD344 Supreme solid carbide milling cutters, Walter is launching two new tools for ISO P materials.
With the new versions of the T2711 and T2712 thread milling cutters, Walter is offering its customers an indexable insert solution for small blind-hole and through-hole threads (≤ 2.5 × DN) in dimensions of M16, M18 and UNC3/4.
With the MD265 Supreme and MC268 Advance, Walter is extending its range of solid carbide milling cutters for ISO N machining with the addition of two distinct roughing specialists.
With the FW4 and MW4 wiper geometries, Walter is launching two turning indexable insert geometries which combine the "wiper effect" with new chip breaker geometries and extremely wear-resistant Walter Tiger·tec® Gold grades.
Walter offers indexable insert milling cutters that are powerful, reliable and flexible to use. But the challenges faced by users are as diverse as the application range is broad.
With the DC118 Supreme solid carbide drill, Walter is signalling the start of a new performance class for challenging applications. The "180° drills" differ from standard solid carbide drills in particular due to the high rigidity they provide against deflection, the good centring accuracy and four chamfers, which enable excellent guidance after plunging.
With the MD177 Supreme and the MD173 Supreme, Walter is for the first time launching solid carbide milling cutters with seven cutting edges. Developed for the aerospace industry, their performance is excellent not only in titanium, but in steel and stainless steel too.
