An additional system insert, the SN.X0904 is available for use with the M5009 and the M5012 for smaller depths of cut. The insert range includes Walter's own Tiger·tec Gold grades, making them incredibly wear-resistant. Depending on the material or machining objective, the user can choose between five geometries.
This provides the choice for machining large batch sizes, high stability and process reliability achieving long tool life and high productivity with almost all ISO materials.
By adding the M5011 to its range of milling cutters, the Tübingen-based manufacturer is providing a range equipped with either roughing or wiper inserts for finishing. To this end, the Xtra·tec XT M5011 face milling cutter can be used for reducing the process costs and tool requirements. Walter offers the milling cutter with a diameter of 50 to 160mm in two different tooth pitches for diameters 63 to 125mm and with a depth of cut up to 8mm.
In the version with fewer teeth, the indexable inserts are mounted on a carbide shim. This protects the milling body and the remaining unused cutting edges against damage. It also maintains the cutters usability, even with long machining times. Inclined clamping screws make the indexable inserts easy to access and it shortens the indexing time.
