NEW G27 GEOMETRY FROM WALTER TOOLS EXPANDS THE M5137 MILLING CUTTER RANGE

Firstly, users benefit from double-sided indexable inserts with six usable cutting edges – and, in turn, an attractive price-to-cutting edge ratio. Secondly, the milling cutter has an approach angle of 90 degrees and is capable of ramping, circular interpolation milling and pocket milling. This is a combination the market had never seen before now. Following on from the successful launch, Walter is now expanding its M5137 range to include the new G27 indexable insert geometry for universal use.

Whilst the G57 geometry that was available up to now primarily excelled in good to average conditions, low cutting forces and average feeds (e.g. for pre-machined workpieces), the sintered G27 now completes the Walter range. A geometry that can be used for challenging jobs as well as unstable clamping arrangements, interrupted cuts or forged skin. Both geometries are suitable for face milling, shoulder milling and pocket milling, as well as circular interpolation and ramping in steel and cast iron workpieces, and in stainless and difficult-to-cut materials. The Walter range now includes the cutter body itself with bore adaption and Weldon shank, also available in new inch-diameters (1–4"). The high process reliability and cost-efficiency achieved through low cutting tool material costs and the wear-resistant Tiger·tec^® grades make the milling cutter a particularly good choice for users producing mid-range quantities.
