54 MoldMaking Technology July 2015 Cutting Tools Pages 51 to 72 walter-tools.com/us Walter Introduces the M4000 Universal Milling System Walter has introduced the M4000, a universal milling system that improves production while reducing tooling requirements, thus reducing costs. The system comprises three different cutter bodies and four indexable inserts and can be employed in a wide array of milling applications, including face milling, shoulder milling, and chamfering. The system is ideal in all steel and cast iron materials, stainless steels and difficult-to-cut materials. Because one insert can handle several different milling applications, the user's tool and storage costs are reduced. Like their more specialized relatives in the Walter BLAXX and Walter Xtra•tec® product ranges, the M4000 inserts are coated with Tiger•tec® Silver. The inserts come in stable and universal geometries, and have a positive shape with a clearance angle of 15 degrees. This means that less power is required for milling, so energy consumption is reduced and economic efficiency is increased. In addition, the inserts provide for a more stable cutting environment while decreasing vibration, which adds to tool life. The system's versatility can be enhanced even further Walter's versatile M4000 milling system reduces tooling and storage costs while decreasing energy requirements and boosting production efficiency.

For the M4002 high-feed milling cutter, a circumference-sintered insert with facet for improved surfaces is available. A special insert with a larger corner radius increases cutting edge stability when work- ing with the high-feed mill and shoulder mill. For the M4132 shoulder mill in particular, an indexable insert with a fully ground circumference is available.
