Walter USA highlights the Xtra-tec XT M5009 face milling cutter for face milling, roughing and rough finishing with wiper inserts on steel and stainless steels materials with difficult cutting properties, as well as non-ferrous metals.
The M5009’s small, tough, double-sided SN X0904 or SN X1205 indexable inserts and high number of teeth enable the cutter to maximize feeds, tool life and productivity and boost process reliability, Walter notes, while also reducing cutting tool material costs.
Its high level of stability also makes it ideal for minimal material removal and variable conditions. In addition, M5009’s positive soft cutting action permits it to be used on less powerful machines, and is said to maintain excellent handling thanks to an easily accessible clamping screw at an angle which prevents typical installation mistakes.
The Walter Xtra-tec XT M5009 face milling cutter has a 45° approach angle, is available in diameters of 25-160 mm (1-6") and provides a depth of cut of 5 or 6.5 mm. It features three pitches for different applications (tools with wide and medium pitch for insert size SN X1205 are designed with carbide shim), and either ScrewFit or shell mill mount interfaces.
