Long milling cutters for deep contours

WALTER is expanding its range of HSC milling cutters for machining graphite

With the graphite milling cutter family HSC 30, WALTER covers an important application in tool and mould making: the manufacture of electrodes for erosion machining. One of the trends in this sector is towards ever more complicated contours, some with very deep cavities and a large number of projecting edges.

To address this development, WALTER has expanded the 12 mm diameter HSC milling cutter with a version having a 90 mm long neck (90 mm = projection length). Both a shank cutter with radius (R = 1.0 mm) and a radius copying milling cutter (R = 6.0 mm) are available in this length with immediate effect. The lengths for deep contours: with 90mm neck length, WALTER is supplying HSC milling cutters with a particularly long projection for machining graphite electrodes.
