WALTER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WALTER from 3G Electric.
What are the specifications of the WALTER screw-machine length drill bits offered by 3G Electric?
The WALTER screw-machine length drill bits, such as MPN A1148-4.5, are made of cobalt with a parabolic flute and fast spiral design. They have a 130° point angle and a 4.5 mm diameter. These bits are intended for use in automated screw machines and CNC lathes, where efficient chip evacuation is required. The parabolic flute and fast spiral help to clear chips, reducing the risk of clogging during drilling. The cobalt construction provides wear resistance for drilling in various materials, including steel and stainless steel. 3G Electric supplies these drill bits as part of its WALTER cutting tool inventory.
What sizes of WALTER indexable face mills does 3G Electric carry?
3G Electric carries WALTER indexable face mills in several diameters, including 50 mm, 76 mm, 100 mm, 127 mm, and 250 mm. These mills accommodate different numbers of inserts and insert sizes. For example, the 50 mm face mill uses two inserts and has a B22 arbor mount, while the 250 mm face mill uses 12 cutting edges with R722M insert geometry. The range allows for face milling operations on various workpiece sizes, from small components to large surfaces. The mills are designed for use on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, with insert geometries optimized for different cutting conditions.
What materials can WALTER indexable face mills machine?
WALTER indexable face mills are designed for face milling operations on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The insert geometries, such as R720M and R722M, are optimized for these materials to provide stable cutting and surface finish. The tools can be used for general machining to produce flat surfaces and square shoulders. The specific performance depends on the insert grade and cutting parameters selected. 3G Electric provides these face mills with detailed specifications to help users match the tool to their application. For materials beyond these, consult WALTER technical documentation for recommendations.
How does 3G Electric support the WALTER product line?
3G Electric supplies WALTER cutting tools, including indexable face mills and screw-machine drill bits, as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The company maintains inventory of standard items and offers logistics support for global delivery. Customers can request quotes for specific WALTER part numbers, and 3G Electric provides product information such as specifications and manufacturer part numbers to aid selection. The support is focused on enabling procurement specialists and maintenance managers to source WALTER tooling efficiently. 3G Electric does not provide application engineering or custom tool design services for WALTER products.
What is the point angle of WALTER screw-machine length drill bits?
WALTER screw-machine length drill bits, such as the A1148-4.5 model, have a 130° point angle. This point angle is common for general-purpose drilling in a variety of materials. The 130° point provides a balance between penetration rate and cutting edge strength. Combined with the parabolic flute and fast spiral, the design aids in chip evacuation, making these bits suitable for automated screw machines and CNC lathes where chip control is important. 3G Electric stocks these drill bits in specific sizes, such as 4.5 mm diameter.
