Walter has introduced the MC232 Perform line of solid carbide milling cutters. These new milling cutters, the latest addition to Walter’s cost-effective Perform product range, feature a corner radius and reduced neck. Solid carbide milling cutters with corner radii allow improved approaches to individual component geometries. It also improves the tool life of the milling cutter, as the edge stability is increased.
The reduced neck in turn makes the milling cutter more flexible, as it can be used with an even wider variety of cutting depths. MC232 Perform line, with diameter sizes ranging from 1/8 in. to ¾ in. and 2-20 mm metric, can be used for all typical milling applications (shoulder, slotting, pocket milling, helical plunging and ramping) and are suitable for a variety of materials.
Users also benefit from other features of the Perform line, such as the high level of cost efficiency for small and medium batch sizes. Application of the MC232 Perform include steel, stainless and cast iron. The new milling cutters are of particular benefit to job shops and manufacturers that frequently changing orders or quantities.
