Walter heptagon cutter offers multiple cast iron benefits

The Walter Xtra.tec F4045 heptagon cutter, with indexable inserts having 14 cutting faces, is designed for cutting depths in the 4-6 mm range. It is available in close and medium pitches to suit all cast iron machining conditions.

Walter says that the F4045 cutter can easily and quickly swap the negative basic shape insert geometries – stable, universal and easy cutting – and use, for example, high performance Tiger.tec Silver or PVD Tiger.tec WKK25 grade inserts for especially difficult machining conditions. The clamping wedge pivots make the inserts readily accessible after just a few turns of the clamping screw at the side.
