Capable contouring

For the production of highly accurate intricate contours, Walter GB claims its new Prototyp ConeFit universal modular milling cutter system provides an ideal solution.

The system is based on a solid carbide milling head that is located into the steel toolholder via an innovative self-centring precision mounting thread – said to be the first of its kind. With interchangeable milling heads of different diameters, users' tool costs can be dramatically reduced since fewer complete tools need to be purchased.

Featuring a hybrid buttress and trapezoidal thread, the system is based around a ground cone for exact concentricity and an axial support face that guarantees rigidity and, therefore, process reliability. Available in diameters of 10mm to 20 mm, the solid carbide heads feature a special TAX (titanium aluminium nitride) coating that ensures long tool life on all ISO material groups.

Cutting edge geometries have been duplicated from the successful and established Walter Prototyp range. Versions for roughing and finishing and contour and profile milling are available in a variety of forms and both long and short toolholders can be supplied.
