Introducing the New Mitsubishi Materials WWX200 Milling Cutters

Mitsubishi Materials has expanded its popular WWX series with the addition of the WWX200, a smaller type of true 90º corner milling cutter that is specifically designed for face, shoulder, and copying applications. With its economical double-sided trigon inserts and low cutting resistance, the WWX200 is ideal for smaller components and lower-powered machine tools.

One of the key features of the WWX series is its innovative and accurate geometry of the insert pocket, which together with precise locating of the inserts on the tool body, ensures that a true 90º wall can be machined on components. This eliminates the need for secondary finishing operations, thereby saving valuable production time and costs.

 The WWX400/200 cutters can perform at high feed rates, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. The body features four contact faces inside the insert pocket, plus the use of a large screw, that provides high insert clamping strength and stability without compromising accuracy. To further enhance usability and dependability, each body has internal through coolant channels that exit to supply high-pressure cutting fluid directly at each insert.

The unique carbide inserts feature 6 usable cutting edges that offer lower costs and excellent process reliability thanks to a negative seating geometry but provide a positive sharp cutting action. This generates low cutting forces and together with an increase in insert thickness compared to conventional types, also provides excellent resistance to breakage. Furthermore, a high maximum depth of cut of up to 8.2mm enables efficient shoulder milling capabilities.

Three different chipbreakers are available, the L, M, and R breakers for light, medium and rough machining respectively. These can be matched with an extensive selection of 8 different coated and uncoated carbide grades, providing choices that ensure the ideal combination can be chosen to effectively machine a wide range of materials.

The new WWX200 series of arbor-type face mill cutters are available from Ø40 – Ø160 in coarse, fine and extra fine pitch geometries. Shank types from Ø25 – Ø50 can also be ordered.

If you’re looking for a versatile and reliable milling cutter for your metal cutting needs, look no further than the Mitsubishi Materials WWX series. With its precision and reliability, innovative and economical inserts, and wide range of sizes and geometries, the WWX series is the perfect choice for any application.
