Walter AG expands its Tiger•tec Silver range with three efficient, positive, steel cutting geometries – an often underestimated insert type, which shows its full potential with low cutting pressures and on small diameters. The three new ISO P geometries with a positive basic shape are called FP4, MP4 and RP4, and have been added to the tool range of the Tübingen-based specialist as of March 2014. The indexable inserts for steel machining are available in the proven WPP10S, WPP20S and WPP30S Tiger•tec Silver cutting grades. FP4 (F = finishing) is optimised for finishing steel and achieves the best surface finish quality and chip control for exact precision machining. MP4 (M = medium) for mid-range steel machining is the universal design of the three new inserts and is particularly well suited to machining long-chipping materials, such as St37 structural steel or other low-carbon steels. RP4 is used for roughing with positive indexable inserts.
