44 PRODUCTION MACHINING :: NOVEMBER 2016
Company Carries Extension of its Turning Geometry
Walter has launched a major extension of its turning geometry
program. Extensions include the FM4, RM4, FP6 and FK6 posi-
tive inserts.
The FM4 inserts are engineered for finishing stainless and high
temperature alloys (ISO M, S) and have excellent chip-breaking
capabilities at low feed rates and low cutting depths,
the company says. They are available in grades
WSM10S, WSM20S and WSM30S.
The RM4 positive inserts are targeted at stain-
less and high temperature alloys (ISO M, S) for
roughing and medium machining operations.
They are available in grades WSM10S, WSM20S,
WSM30S, and WMP20S.
The FP6 positive inserts excel at finishing
steels (ISO P) and provide superior chip control,
the company says. They are available in grades
WPP10S and WPP20S. The FP6 is an alternative to
FP4 and MP4 and replaces PS5 in steel applications.
Walter's FK6 positive inserts, available in grades
WKK10S and WKK20S, are engineered specially for finish
to medium machining. They are an alternative to MK4 and replace
PS5 in iron applications.
The Walter turning program extension also includes positive
wiper inserts for PF and PM geometries.
