When it comes to milling, Walter offers you the perfect solution for any challenge. The high process reliability and performance of Walter tools also benefit the production steps that follow. Walter Xtra-tec® XT:
The Latest Generation of Milling Cutters with Indexable Inserts
Walter's Xtra-tec® XT milling cutters embody ultimate stability, cutting data and process reliability. The M5130 shoulder milling cutter is the best example of this. Alongside the wear-resistant Tiger-tec® Gold coatings, the reduced clearance angle on the indexable insert ensures maximum protection against indexable insert breakage. Due to an around 34% larger contact surface.
In addition to the larger contact surface, the reduced clearance angle offers further benefits, including a 12% larger hole cross-section and 40% more mass in the insert pocket. Together with a more rigid design of the indexable insert and the body, the M5130 has more teeth per diameter for excellent productivity.
This is What "XTENDED TECHNOLOGY" Looks Like
- 12% larger insert hole cross-section for improved cutting data
- 40% more reinforcement in the insert pocket for greater process reliability
- 34% larger indexable insert contact surface for better performance/stability
