Walter introduces indexable inserts
Cutting tool specialist Walter has expanded its WL copy turning system with the introduction of the new WL17 indexable inserts for Swiss type automatic lathes and small diameter machining. Used on the W1011-S-P external turning toolholder, which is also a new arrival along with the W1210/W1211 boring bars, they bring the benefits of the existing WL25 inserts to smaller dimensions. The W1011-S-P toolholder has a square shank that is available in the most common shank sizes of 12 by 12mm and 16 by 16mm. They have been specially designed for use on automatic lathes and multi-spindle turning
centres. Walter is as yet the only manufacturer to offer a turning system for automatic lathes with positive engagement and three-edge turning inserts. As with the WL25 turning inserts and toolholders, the smaller indexable inserts facilitate equally high cost efficiencies. www.walter-tools.com DK Holdings Limited is pleased to be exhibiting at JEC WORLD, the leading International Composites Show, which takes place from 5th – 7th March in Paris next year. “We are excited to be back at JEC WORLD in 2024”, Sales & Marketing Manager John Emptage tells us. “Face-to-face networking with our global partners in the Composite industry is vital as it enables us to understand their requirements and develop Diamond tooling solutions to optimise production processes as well as assisting with new projects” “You’ll find us at Composites UK’s Pavilion for the first time since becoming members earlier this year which we are very much looking forward to.
