Stable cutting edges master CI inclusions

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team May 16, 2005

Cutting edge geometry that features a strong bevel edge overcomes the problem of face-milling and machining cast iron with inclusions and hard steel materials.

The face milling of difficult workpiece materials usually reduces tool life due to the chipping of cutting edges.

This disadvantage is especially obvious when machining cast iron with inclusions and hard steel materials etc Therefore, Walter has added a new cutting edge geometry (Walter designation F27) to its indexable insert portfolio for the Xtra.tec face milling cutter F4033.

Featuring a strong bevel edge, the new indexable inserts feature outstandingly high stability and are thus able to cope with every workpiece material characteristic.

Walter provides an inexpensive circumference-sintered version for general roughing operations as well as a circumference-ground version for high-precision roughing.

Both versions are made of the successful Tiger.tec cutting tool materials WKP25 and WKP35 for steel and cast iron.
