Closed-Pitch Solid Carbide Cutters Demonstrate Universal Finishing

Walter USA presents two multi-tooth solid carbide face milling cutters, the MC128 Advance and the MD128 Supreme, for finishing and semi-finishing, with a secondary use for dynamic milling. These close-pitch cutters are said to produce excellent surfaces, with minimal burr formation on the component, primarily due to a 50° helix. Both cutters excel at the finishing of shoulders, pockets, walls and cavities. They feature protective chamfer or a corner radii with cylindrical shank. A ConeFit exchangeable head is also available with each.

The MC128 Advance boasts a wide diameter range of 1/4" -3/4" (2-25 mm) with a TiAIN coating for universal use. WJ30TF grade is available for ISO materials P, M, K and S. The MC128 Advance is well suited for die and mold work as well as general metalworking.

Alternately, MD128 Supreme, with a diameter range is 6-25 mm, provides 64% more tool life when compared to similar competitive cutters. It is a close-pitch cutter with more teeth, a longer cutting-edge length and material-specific grades for maximum productivity. It is intended for semi-finishing and finishing, including the finishing of additively manufactured (AM) components and dynamically roughed components up to 3 × D_c (ConeFit 1.5 x D_c). Its material-specific grades include WJ30RD (AITiN + ZrN) for ISO P material and WJ30RA (TiAIN + TiAI) for ISO materials M and S. MD128 Supreme is suited for medical, aerospace, energy and die and mold industries and can be used for deep cavities.
