Walter has added to its range of solid carbide milling cutters with the introduction of its MC232 Perform product line. These three versatile, cost-effective cutter types are available with two, three or four teeth, with diameters ranging from 0.08" to 0.79" (2 to 20 mm), and from a 0.24" (6-mm) shank diameter with a Weldon shank.
This marks tube process inserts the first time that solid carbide milling cutters have been included in the Perform line, which is designed to be highly economical and suitable for use in a range of applications for shops that frequently machine smaller quantities of parts. The properties of the new milling cutters are particularly beneficial for users whose top priority is the universal applicability of their tools, rather than simply tool life, the company says.
Universal applicability is also mirrored in the technical features of the MC232 Perform tools. Thanks to their geometries, with center cutting edge and 35-degree spiral, as well as the WJ30ED grade, these corner/slot milling cutters are suitable for common milling operations such as lateral milling, full slotting, pocket milling, ramping and helical plunging. They can be used in industries such deep hole drilling inserts as mechanical engineering, mold and die, automotive, and energy.
