A titan in titanium

Titanium components are often not only hard but also poor conductors of heat, making them difficult to machine. Improving cutting rates poses additional challenges.

The Walter BLAXX M3255 porcupine milling cutter achieves outstanding results thanks to its design. A special front insert with an axial limit stop, combined with the geometry of the tangentially arranged indexable inserts, allows for an overlapping arrangement with more inserts per row and more rows of teeth per milling cutter. The continuous edge interlocking with the front insert cuts the workpiece with greater process reliability.

Redesign of the milling body and indexable inserts allow users of the Walter BLAXX M3255 porcupine milling cutter to achieve unmatched results when machining titanium alloys.

Each indexable insert is supplied with its own coolant, which coupled with large chip clearances resulting from the insert arrangement, optimizes cooling and chip evacuation. This is particularly advantageous for slot milling, allowing the M3255 to perform deeper slot milling operations with larger diameters.

The Walter BLAXX M3255 is equally well suited to shoulder milling, contour milling, and pocket milling titanium alloys. The L65T geometry is available in two different grades: WSM45X for high machining volume and long tool life, and WSP45S for a high level of process reliability, even in difficult conditions. Their sharp cutting edges guarantee high machining volumes despite using low cutting forces. The Walter BLAXX M3255 is available in 50mm to 80mm or 2" to 3" diameters.
