Walter (Waukesha, WI) has introduced a new cermet turning insert that delivers superior surface finish with reduced vibration. The new PVD coated cermet grade WEP10C, along with low cutting pressure from its negative clearance FP5 geometry and cutting-edge preparation, can boost productivity and dimensional stability in mass production.
The primary application is steel (ISO P) with secondary application in stainless steel (ISO M) and cast iron (ISO K). Also, the new FP5 geometry allows inserts well suited for finishing with continuous and slightly interrupted cuts, and unparalleled wear resistance.
