Caption: The M3016 heavy-duty cutter offers both low cutting tool material costs and incredibly high metal removal rates, making it ideal for the heavy-duty machining of any steel or cast iron material. Image: Walter AG Walter BLAXX M3024 heptagon cutter and M3016 heavy-duty cutter High metal removal rates and low cutting tool material costs thanks to Tiger·tec® Silver technology With its soft, positive cutting action, the new Walter BLAXX M3024 heptagon cutter achieves high metal removal rates, even on relatively low-performance machines. The 14 cutting edges per indexable insert keep cutting-tool material costs low. The carbide shim provides optimal insert support, thus offering a high level of security when operating with high feed rates; coupled with the tough, negative indexable inserts, this combination affords the highest level

of process reliability. Indexable inserts for the Walter BLAXX heptagon cutter are available in two CVD-coated Tiger·tec® Silver grades (WKP25S and WKP35S) for machining steels and cast irons. Not only this, but they are also available in three PVD-coated grades (WSM35S, WKK25S and WSP45S) for machining steels, cast irons and stainless steels. The tool is perfect for machining components such as exhaust turbochargers and turbine blades. Another new addition is the Walter BLAXX M3016 heavy-duty cutter, which also features Tiger·tec® Silver technology. Indexable inserts are available in CVD-coated...
