Walter's NMT Turning Geometry Now Tackles Steels

Originally designed for machining titanium, the NMT turning geometry from tooling giant Walter now features Tiger.tec s to machine forged/cold-formed steel components without producing coiled swarf.

 

The ’s curved cutting edge reduces cutting forces and ensures a smooth surface (when profiling, for example), while a series of ‘domes’ not only restricts overall cutting depth but also deflects swarf. The can operate at feed rates of 0.12 mm to 0.40 mm per rotation and cutting depths of 0.6 mm to 3 mm.

 

Tiger.tec WPP10 (very hard), WPP20 (universal) and WPP30 (very tough) grades are available in CNMG, DNMG, TNMG and WNMG styles.
