The Walter Valenite F4050 cartridge-type cutter is a new approach to the challenges of high-speed milling of non-ferrous materials.
Features of the F4050 include the use of high-tensile steel cartridges with brazed PCD carbide tips. An adjusting key guarantees a micron-precise runout of the cartridges. Toolsetting is done through clamping screws which are tightened according to defined torques, enabling high limiting speeds. Fine balancing screws also ensure a high balance class.
Importantly, the F4050 is designed and built to allow all adjustments to be done quickly and easily and thus help boost the tool's productivity.
F4050 is available in diameters ranging from 80 to 200 mm. A carbide chip deflector supports a significant level of chip production in both roughing and finishing operations. The tool is equally productive at maximum cutting speeds in the range from 5,000 to 7,000 m/min.
Cartridges with a 90-deg. clearance angle and cutting depths of up to 4 mm, or cartridges with a 75-deg. clearance angle and cutting depths of up to 1.1 mm are available.
These enable both shoulder mill and face mill operations. In addition, Walter also provides a broad finishing cartridge for applications where a very high-quality surface finish is critical.
