For the first time, tooling expert Walter GB Ltd, Bromsgrove (
www.walter-tools.com), has introduced a solid milling cutter with a corner radius and reduced-diameter neck to enable improved access to component features at varying depths and with improved tool life — especially when machining ISO P materials, as well as ISO M and ISO K materials.
The new MC232 joins other solid-carbide milling cutters in the company’s Perform range, which also includes types without reduced necks and without a corner radius.
Walter’s Perform range, which is now available in ‘126 different dimensions’ in the diameter range 2–20mm, can be used for all typical milling applications.
These include lateral milling, full slotting, pocket milling, helical plunging and ramping; these cutters can be used with a variety of materials and milling strategies.
In addition, cutters in this range can be specified with Walter’s WJ30ED grade coating, which provides a high level of wear-resistance.
