Tool life when cutting hard materials up to 70 HRc is greatly improved, thanks to the development of a PVD-multilayer coating used on solid carbide milling cutters.
Cutters offer stable high feed per tooth usage
Among several advantages offered by indexable insert and solid carbide milling cutters is an insert seat that provides support and excellent stability in high feed per tooth applications.
Its team of 26 technical sales engineers are strategically located in all of the main manufacturing centres in the UK.
They are supported internally by a technical support team and an investment in logistics that can deliver any of the company's 45 000 product lines to the majority of UK business addresses next day, before noon - guaranteed.
Technical support and service are only part of WNT's success, though.

"Exhibiting at events such as Southern Manufacturing and its sister exhibitions allows us to discuss our philosophy directly with the many small to medium sized sub-contractors that are the backbone of UK manufacturing but all too often they are not getting the service and support that they need." says Glenn Stanton, WNT's UK and Ireland sales manager.
