Walter USA reveals an SDMX indexable insert for its Walter M4002 high-feed milling cutter. Consequential to its highly positive geometries, the square positive, universal insert lowers power requirements. It is thick for maximum process reliability and provides four cutting edges per indexable insert with a curved cutting edge for complete stability.
There are two indexable insert sizes with facet—SDMX0904ZDR-E27 and SDMX1205ZDR-E27. The M4002 cutter provides a depth of cut of 1.5 or 2.0 mm and is available in diameters of 25-125 mm or 1-4" and is ideal for high-speed milling in steel, cast iron, stainless steel and materials with difficult cutting properties. Demanding machining in mold and die making and general machining are also applicable uses.
