Walter: Porcupine Milling Cutters

  • Thursday, 19 May 2016 00:00

The new M4256, M4257 and M4258 porcupine milling cutters are versatile in terms of both the range of applications and the materials for which they can be used, which include steel, cast iron, stainless steels, and difficult-to-cut materials.

They are available with Weldon shank, modular ScrewFit interface and bore adaption. Their compact length and half-effective design with low cutting pressure allow for a smooth operation, reducing the tendency to oscillate and vibrate to make them suitable even in unstable conditions.

The features of these milling cutters become more prominent when paired with the D51 geometry insert. The chip clearance integral in these porcupine milling cutters make for an effective chip evacuation, especially in flute design where chips cannot fly to the side.

The milling cutters can also be used for ramping, pocket milling, shoulder milling and circular interpolation. They are most likely to be of interest to users operating in the general mechanical engineering sector.
