Walter Sized

Walter (Greer, SC) has extended the Xtra-tec XT M5130 shoulder milling cutter line with 29 new inch sizes added, increasing the offering to 119 tools.

The extension of the inch line covers cutters using the 09, 12 and 16 mm insert sizes. The M5130 bodies using the 09 mm insert have added new sizes from 0.5 to 1.5 in., the M5130 bodies using the 12 mm insert is expanded with additional sizes from 1.0 up to 5.0 in., and the M5130 bodies using the 15 mm insert adds more choices from 1.0 to 2.0 in.

When designing the cutters, instead of further reducing the clearance angle for the benefit of the cutting force, Walter made it larger and rotated the position of the indexable inserts by 8° so that the effective clearance angle stays the same. As a result, the stability and process reliability of the milling cutters and inserts has significantly improved.

In addition to shoulder milling, the tool is suitable for face milling, ramping, pocket milling and circular interpolation. The primary applications include machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous materials and materials with difficult cutting properties (ISO P, M, K, N, S and H material groups). Targeted industries include energy, die and mold making, and general mechanical engineering.
