Double the tool life!

Tooling expert Walter GB has announced that its new WEP10 cermet indexable insert offers two major advantages over coated carbide inserts for finish turning: double the tool life; and no fluctuation in dimensional wear which minimises the need for re-adjustment - for example, when making modifications to the component.

Made from an extremely fine-grained substrate on a TiCN/CN base with an Ni/Co binder, the benefits are a result of the insert’s highly wear-resistant multi-layer coating.

In addition, a special edge preparation on the cermet grade produces a ‘glossy’ finished surface – at high and low cutting speeds – and this premium finish is particularly desirable for components that are visible, such as those used in car interiors, for which a good surface value alone isn't enough.

WEP10 is suitable for stainless steels and cast iron as well as ISO P materials, and is especially useful for finishing parts such as drive shafts and gearwheels with a continuous or slightly interrupted cut.
