Next Generation in
Versatile End Milling
—WIDIA
WIDIA has launched the WCE solid end milling platform, offering affordable performance and reliability for small to medium machine shops, according to the company. The initial release of the WCE platform features WCE4, a four-flute geometry that combines advanced, high-performance features with a new versatile grade.
Two key features of the tool are its asymmetrical index and variable helix. “The combination of the two reduces vibrations and enables heavy cuts, while the new grade, WU20PE, enables versatility on steel, stainless steel and cast-iron applications,” said a company spokesperson. “These design
features, coupled with the four-flute geometry, deliver an end mill with reliable performance and application versatility-even in demanding opera- tions such as full slots and heavy cuts.”
The WCE platform includes four- flute, square-end and ball nose end mills with both straight and Weldon shanks and is available in metric and inch dimensions. The WCE5 five-flute geometry will be released later in 2022.
