Walter USA LLC has introduced the Xtra·Tec XT M5468 round insert milling cutter, a universal system for copy, face, ramping, pocket and circular interpolation milling. According to Walter, the Xtra·Tec XT M5468 is suitable for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous material with difficult cutting properties and hard machining. The company claims it is ideal for copy milling with minimal material removal.

The Xtra·Tec XT M5468 provides protection against twisting and cutting-edge rotation due to the eight facets on its indexable inserts. The indexable inserts reportedly support optimum cutting data and promote long tool life and maximum process stability. This oversized milling cutter, which handles machining operations on deep shoulders, is adaptable to various machining operations due to its variety of indexable insert sizes and geometries. Its cylindrical modular interface enables use in existing adapter systems.

Walter says the Xtra·Tec XT M5468 also accommodates ScrewFit, Weldon shank and shell mill mount interfaces. Its universal adaptability is claimed to promote lower tool costs and reduce time and labor, and the Tiger·tec cutting tool materials and higher number of teeth are cost effective. Available insert variants are fully sintered and fully ground circumference. Diameters range from 1-4" (20-100 mm), and there are two pitches for different applications. Areas of use include die and mold, general metalworking and the energy industry, among others.
