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 new, short three- and four-flute cutting tools for turning centers with stationary or driven tools offer huge potential as they are part of the standard set-up in this field. With the latest additions to its product range, Walter now offers the Perform line milling cutters with diameters from 1 to 20 mm, two to six cutting edges and with cutting edge lengths from 1 × Dc to 3 × Dc.
The new Perform line milling cutters boast a "high-performance geometry", meaning that the number of teeth and helical pitch are perfectly coordinated. This ensures excellent operational smoothness and an outstanding material removal capacity. Another thing they have in common is their cost-efficiency and universal application for many different materials and milling strategies. In addition to being excellent value for money, with the Perform line users can enjoy the same support services that are typical of Walter’s higher-priced tools. Alongside STEP files and data models for programming, these services also include calculating and providing cutting data with the Walter GPS "machining navigation system".
