Walter has introduced the Walter Prototyp Supreme TC610 (1.5xD) and TC611 (2xD) solid-carbide thread mills.

Both thread mills have new geometry that reduces vibration, produces good surface finishes, and throughcoolant capability that optimizes chip removal and helps to prevent fractures.

These tools are available with the new WB10RD and WJ30RC grades.

WB10RD produces good wear resistance and has shown tool life improvements in laboratory testing. It has a titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coating with a finishing layer of zirconium nitride (ZrN). The ZrN layer has a lower affinity for steel, providing lower temperatures in the cutting zone.

The WJ30RC grade, also with a TiAlN coating, delivers process reliability along with improved tool life, the company states. It can be run with or without coolant.

These thread mills are suitable for use with ISO material groups P, M, K, N, S, and O.
