Fort Mill, South Carolina - The replaceable tip system includes a range of helix and cutting geometries, an asymmetrical flute design, and wear-resistant AlTiN coatings for use in titanium and nickel-based superalloys.
The DUO-LOCK connection from WIDIA and Haimer can predictably take full-width slotting cuts in stainless steel alloys at 1xD deep, and 50% cut widths at 1.5xD. The metal removal rate is due to a double-taper, face-contact mount and intelligent thread design. This provides runout accuracy better than 5µm (.0002"), axial repeatability of 10µm (.0004") or better, and up to 25% higher torque and chip load capabilities than others in this market.
For those shops that prefer a simpler toolholding approach, WIDIA offers a variety of integral shank taper, lobed, and HSK-style toolholders, as well as straight shank cut to size adapters 10mm - 32mm (0.39" - 1.25") in diameter.
WIDIA is also offering a complete range of cutter geometries, from high-performance corn cob style roughers to ball-nose and chamfering cutters. Many of these are available in 20° and 45° helix angles, with custom grinds and edge preps possible in a few weeks or less.
