Walter is launching a new series of modular solid carbide circular milling cutters for slot milling with four exchangeable head versions. Walter is launching a new series of modular solid carbide circular interpolation milling cutters for slot milling. These can be used with four different exchangeable head versions – either with three or six teeth (arranged crosswise). While Walter is already in a good position in terms of larger diameters with its established milling cutters, the new (…)

With the new Groov·tec™ GD 5011-P grooving system and the GD26 cutting inserts, Walter is offering a new platform for parting off, grooving, copy turning and groove turning. The system, consisting of toolholder and two-edged indexable inserts, is characterized by a patented double-serration profile. This ensures a uniquely stable, positive-locking connection between the tool body and indexable insert. This reliably absorbs lateral forces and prevents the cutting insert from being pushed (…)

Barry Cahoon, Product Solution Specialist Rotating Indexable at Sandvik Coromant, explores how manufacturers can achieve high accuracy, impeccable surface finishes, and cost-effective results in milling, a fundamental process in the metalworking industry. Achieving optimal milling results necessitates selecting cutting tools specifically engineered to meet precise machining requirements. This must take into account factors such as cutting geometry, material hardness and machining (…)

Jetstream Tooling® Integrated (JETI) toolholders bring the benefits of high-pressure coolant to round, positive turning inserts for effective profiling and pocketing in difficult-to-cut materials. JETI toolholders eliminate hoses and spare parts associated with high-pressure coolant, and 3D-printed coolant clamps provide internal coolant channels for effective cutting zone cooling and chip control. The precision delivery of high-pressure coolant by the toolholder’s internal coolant (…)

Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Headquarters: Iwaki, Fukushima) announces the addition of L/D=8 specification bodies to its small diameter head exchangeable drill “AddMeisterDrill” series. “AddMeisterDrill” is a revolutionary head exchangeable drill that combines the cutting performance of solid carbide drills with the convenience of indexable drills. It supports small diameter hole machining with tool diameters ranging from ø4.0 to ø5.9 mm (0.1574” to 0.2323”). Two (…)

Seco C-Series end mills deliver both flexibility and performance, allowing shops to machine various materials without changing tools. Available in square, ballnose and chamfering geometries, the end mills uphold the company´s commitment to quality while reducing costs.The series encompasses 2-, 3-, and 4-flute configurations that ensure consistent performance across traditional milling applications such as roughing and finishing when side milling, copy milling or slotting. It is (…)

The addition of the “AM Type” insert to the “DoMultiRec” series will greatly contribute to tool consolidation and productivity improvement for a wider range of industries. Tungaloy Corporation announces the addition of the “AM Type” insert for non-ferrous metal machining to its center blade multi-functional cutter “DoMultiRec”. “DoMultiRec” is a multi-functional milling cutter with a center cutting edge capable of a wide range of operations, from drilling and shoulder milling to pocket (…)

Walter has expanded its expertise and product portfolio in the lightweight sector – through measures such as the acquisition of the manufacturer FMT (Frezite Metal Tooling). Lightweight materials are becoming increasingly important in industrial production. Why is this? Particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors, lower weight means reduced energy consumption. This is a crucial factor, especially since it not only has a positive impact on cost-efficiency but also on CO2 emissions (…)

Tungaloy Corporation announces the addition of a corner radius type head to the DMF head for counterbore holes in its head exchangeable drill series “DrillMeister.” The “DrillMeister” series is a revolutionary head exchangeable drill that combines the performance of solid drills with the convenience of indexable drills. The series offers five types of heads, including the general-purpose “DMP head,” the counterbore “DMF head,” and the high-precision “DMC head,” covering tool diameters (…)

Walter is completing its existing Perform line with the addition of new five- and six-flute solid carbide milling cutters for the ME232 Perform series, as well as two- and four-flute ME432 Perform ball-nose end mills. The Perform line offers advantages to users who work with small and medium batch sizes, which are often not able to get the most out of the long tool life of a high-volume tool. At the same time, retailers and users in the price-conscious segment also stand to benefit. The (…)
