Waukesha, Wisconsin – Walter has introduced the Walter Prototyp MC251 solid carbide mill, positioned with the Advance product line designation. Advance referring to mid-level performance and price. Advance tools are one part of a group of solid tools labeled either Supreme (high-level performance and price), Advance (mid-level performance and price) or Perform (low-level performance and price). The MC251 is a family of solid carbide milling tools that can increase tool life by up to 50% in austenitic stainless steels and nickel-base alloys.
The MC251 geometry has been designed to optimize the machining of stainless materials from the ISO M material group as well as for secondary applications in ISO S materials. The new MC251 tool family is engineered to operate most efficiently on machines having an external coolant supply.
A tough carbide substrate (WK40RC) is used to provide superior machining reliability. In addition, process reliability is boosted by the mills’ low susceptibility to vibration by incorporating asymmetrical helix angles between 35° and 38°. The tools’ coating, a proprietary recipe of titanium-aluminum-nitride designed and produced by Walter, increases tool service life and minimizes build-up on the cutting edge.
