Solid-carbide mill cuts deep pockets and cavities

Walter has unveiled the MC166 Advance solid-carbide milling cutter, which is suitable for all industrial sectors that machine aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, and magnesium-based alloys (ISO N workpiece group).
The cutting tool was specifically designed for finishing and dynamic roughing of deep pockets and cavities. Dynamic milling involves machining at a low radial depth of cut (ae), a high axial depth of cut (ap), and with a large cutting edge length (Lc), which is three times the cutting edge diameter (Dc) on these tools.
A differential pitch provides optimum operational smoothness and extends tool life, the company states.
The micro-geometry of the tool makes the cutter suitable for finishing high-wall part features. The tool also has a 35-degree helix and a DIN 6535 HA (round cylindrical) shank. The uncoated WJ30UU-grade cutter is available in diameters from 12 mm to 20 mm.
