Full speed ahead for carbide manufacturing

Only one year on since the market launch of the high-performance cutting tool material Tiger晅ec Silver and Walter has completed the range of indexable inserts for the whole range of mills used for steel and cast iron machining. "In view of the extraordinary performance increases made through Tiger tec Silver, we have set ourselves an ambitious goal: to equip all mills with the new cutting tool material as soon as possible - the user should benefit from the advancement in performance of the new cutting tool material as quickly as possible. Its full speed ahead for our indexable insert manufacturing, "explained Michael Fink, product management director at Walter AG. In many cases, the performance increases achieved by the silver tiger teeth are up to 100 percent. This is the case, for example, for the face milling of guide tracks made of ST52-2 using an Xtra晅ec octagon cutter F4080. The user has confirmed that the tool life has doubled. Tiger晅ec Silver has superseded a previous benchmark cutting tool material.Zoom Lebron XIV 14
