Walter Expands Solid Carbide Shoulder/Slot Mills Offering with New Tools in Inch Sizes

Walter brings an impressive expansion to its solid carbide milling offering with new tools for universal application. 

Walter (l to r) MA230, MA320 and MA321 Advance solid carbide milling cutters for universal machining.

Greer, SC — With more than 3,000 new cutting tools in inch sizes, Walter takes the lead in solid carbide milling. The offerings include the MA230, MA320 and MA321 Advance shoulder/slot mills for universal application.

The MA230 Advance solid carbide milling cutting is for universal machining of steel, stainless steel, cast iron and high-temperature superalloys (ISO P, M, K and S workpiece groups) at the highest level. The tool’s unique edge prep enables stable and efficient cutting action. An eccentric relief provides an exceptionally strong cutting edge, and a proprietary coating allows for a higher cutting speed and extended tool life.

The MA230 Advance cutter is for high-performance roughing and finishing and enables reliable milling with an extremely high metal removal rate. Most sizes are available with either a standard or reduced neck. The diameter range is from 0.031 to 1.0 inch. These tools are available in 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 flute versions. For example, the 7-flute mill offers extreme metal removal rates delivered at full flute length and a 15% radial engagement for high-feed machining processes. The 9-flute mill is excellent for finishing tight tolerance walls.

The MA321/MA320 Advance solid carbide milling cutters were also developed for machining ISO P, M, K and S workpieces. The multiple use tools are designed for roughing and semi-finishing in a single pass. The sinusoidal ground profile ensures optimal chip evacuation, outstanding heat resistance and minimum tool wear. The tools are ideally suited for milling ferrous materials with a medium hardness and appropriate for use when heavy cutting while still providing fine surface finishes. The diameter range is from 3/16 to 1.0 inch. The tools are available with a cylindrical shank in 4 and 5 flute versions.

The Walter lineup of products consists of three categories of tools. Supreme tools indicate the highest level of technology and performance available. Advance tools indicate products efficiently balanced between price and performance and Perform tools are products that provide an economical solution with focused importance on price.
