With the arrival of the T2710 series, Walter is extending the concept of its multiple-row thread-milling cutters for producing shorter threads. Thanks to small spaces between insert rows, the T2710 offers the highly productive processing of thread depths up to 1.5xD.

Even with short thread depths, the simultaneous machining of several thread sections by the T2710 series reduces machining time. Productivity is further amplified by the wear-resistant thread-milling inserts of the Walter WSM37S Tiger-tec Silver grade.

Suitable for universal use, the rigid tool body incorporates multiple rows of indexable inserts for thread milling. The tool body design features minimum spaces between the insert rows to increase productivity levels when creating short threads.

Walter’s new tool is suitable for threads carrying a nominal diameter that starts from 20 mm and upwards with a thread pitch range from 1.5 to 6 mm, and for imperial threads a TPI of 18 to 6. To meet the complete needs of industry, Walter has introduced several inserts for threads from M125 to UN 5-inch, inserts with a pitch range from 6 to 10 mm and 4 TPI, as well as inserts with a 55° flank angle for BSP threads.

With T2710 it is possible to direct the coolant supply both radially and axially, enabling customers to adapt the process for the machining of blind or through holes, optimally flushing the swarf from the thread. The Walter T2710 series is for universal application on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys and even hardened steels up to 55 HRc.

The new additions add to the existing standard insert range that includes M24 to M125, UNC1 to UN5, and G1 to G3 ½-inch.
