Carbide End Mills for Stainless Steel

Ultra-fine carbide with a grain size below 0.6 μm supports cutting-edge strength, wear resistance and consistent machining performance.

A 12% cobalt content provides a balance of substrate toughness, cutting-edge strength and resistance to impact during demanding milling operations.

The AP AlCrN coating provides high hardness, heat resistance and oxidation resistance at operating temperatures up to approximately 1200°C.

The front core section is approximately 52% for increased chip space, while the second section increases to approximately 70% for improved rigidity.

The positive rake geometry supports a clean cutting action and helps reduce rubbing, cutting resistance and local work hardening.

The 45° helix supports smooth engagement, stable chip flow and consistent cutting during roughing, side milling and dynamic machining.

The unequal end-tooth division helps interrupt repeated cutting forces, suppress vibration and improve stability during roughing and dynamic milling.

Fluid blasting helps remove microscopic burrs and stabilize the cutting edge, supporting smoother cutting and improved workpiece surface quality.

Automated rubber-bonded diamond polishing helps maintain consistent preparation across all cutting edges, with the value controlled within ±0.003 mm.

Walter five-axis precision grinding supports cutting-edge sharpness, dimensional accuracy and repeatable tool geometry for smoother machining.

Walter HELICHECK PLUS profile measurement, 150× optical inspection and 300× high-definition appearance inspection support consistent batch quality.

Ball nose and corner radius tools can be inspected and controlled to an R-profile accuracy within 3 μm for consistent contour and transition machining.
