Available in diameters of 63 to 250 mm for insert widths of 2 to 4 mm, F5055 features Tigertec Silver indexable inserts with WSM33S and WSP43S grades in three geometries: CE4 for medium to high feed rates and applications with good chip compression; the universal SF5 for most materials and low to medium feed rates; and the easy-cutting CF6 for good machining conditions and low feed rates or non-ferrous metals.
Suitable for cast iron, steel and stainless steel components, the F5055 cutter is part of the Walter Cut SX grooving system, which is based on self-gripping, form-locking indexable inserts and favourable cutting force guidance into the tool. The flexible top clamp can be relieved or can fully deploy its clamping force.
