Heavy Duty Milling Cutter for Milling and Boring Large, Difficult Parts

The BLAXX M3016 from Walter tackles ISO material groups P, M and K, and difficult applications such as machining frames made from cast iron for large molds, or housings for wind energy rotor hubs.

Posted: June 24, 2016

Aimed chiefly at milling and boring machines, the M3016 features a carbide axial stop for high process reliability that works as an emergency cutting edge to protect the clamping screw and insert pocket from damage, reducing tooling costs in the process. The M3016 uses four grades of advanced Tigeṙ·tec Silver cutting tool material: WKP25S, WKP35S (CVD) and WKK25S, WSP45S (PVD), which boosts both tool life and process reliability while also reducing cutting material costs.

Walter USA, LLC (Waukesha, WI) has introduced the BLAXX M3016 heavy duty milling cutter with the ruggedness and power needed to make heavy cuts seem easy. The M3016 tackles ISO material groups P, M and K, and difficult applications such as machining frames made from cast iron for large molds, or housings for wind energy rotor hubs.

The M3016, which is aimed chiefly at milling and boring machines, also delivers superior process reliability with older machines. These and other advantages derive from a number of factors, such as the carbide axial stop for high process reliability that works as an emergency cutting edge to protect the clamping screw and insert pocket from damage, reducing tooling costs in the process. The M3016 also uses four grades of advanced Tigeṙ·tec® Silver cutting tool material: WKP25S, WKP35S (CVD) and WKK25S, WSP45S (PVD), which boosts both tool life and process reliability while also reducing cutting material costs.
