Walter 8284963 Carbide Milling Insert Admt WSM35G

Product Description

The WALTER 8284963 is a carbide milling insert in the ADMT style, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling operations. Manufactured to the ISO code ADMT120432R-F56 WSM35G, this insert features a positive rake geometry with a 16-degree rake angle and a 15-degree relief angle, reducing cutting forces and heat generation at the edge. The F56 chip breaker geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during aggressive material removal. An Al2O3 coating applied via PVD process enhances edge wear resistance and thermal stability. This insert is suited for CNC machining centers and is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is engineered for cutting stainless steel and super alloys, material categories that demand sharp, free-cutting geometries to minimize work hardening and tool deflection. The right-hand cutting direction and positive rake make it appropriate for both roughing and semi-finishing passes where controlled chip formation is critical. It fits Walter cutter series F2010 and F4138, making it a direct-fit option for shops already running Walter milling platforms on stainless or nickel-based alloy components.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate with PVD-applied Al2O3 coating for wear and thermal resistance
• Positive rake angle of 16 degrees reduces cutting forces on difficult-to-machine alloys
• F56 chip breaker promotes reliable chip control in stainless steel and super alloy cuts
• Right-hand cutting direction with 2 indexable cutting edges per insert
• Maximum depth of cut of 13.60 mm suits both roughing and semi-finishing passes
• Screw-held mounting method for secure, repeatable insert positioning

Compatibility

Compatible with Walter cutter series F2010 and F4138. Designed for right-hand milling of stainless steel and super alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified for the cutter body to seat the screw-held insert at the proper torque without stripping the pocket. Inspect the cutter pocket seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert to ensure accurate edge positioning.
