Widia VSM17 cutter bodies have an integral chip gullet design to facilitate better swarf evacuation, as well as a hardened steel construction and pocket seats to help resist deformation during cutting. Furthermore, the cutters offer ramping capability up to 8.8° with a maximum 16.45 mm depth of cut, which is said to help users benefit from improved productivity rates when roughing on low power machines.
The VSM17 line is available in a variety of designations that include shell-mills, screw-on type cutters, cylindrical shank and Weldon shank end-mills with through-tool coolant functionality.
Insert grade designations are available for many material types, while starter kits are also offered that include a cutter body and 10 inserts.
