Worry-free threading from Walter GB

The solution includes Prototyp Orbital thread milling cutters, for the effective and efficient creation of threads down to M 1.6 and up to three times depth to diameter ratio as standard - as well as UNC 1 5/16 and UNF 2 5/16 sizes, plus a 'ready-to-run', internet-accessible CNC machining software program. The solid carbide tooling range can generate threads in all materials – from 'soft' steels up to titanium alloys. The range of tooling features a short milling-cutting section, positive rake low helix and a low helix angle in addition to TiCN multi-layer coatings. The combined result is a wear-resistant tool that machines with lower cutting forces and a 'soft' cutting action for the production of both through-hole and blind hole threads. Walter also provides the optimal cutting data and appropriate CNC program for machining centres with thread tapping capabilities and 3D CNC system via its website (www.walter-tools.com) for easy download.
