Coolant Delivery System boosts tool life and surface finish.
Press Release Summary:
Producing direct coolant supply through insert clamp and along flank face of insert, Walter Turn Precision Coolant extends tool life for stainless materials, high temperature alloys and steels. System is aimed primarily at ISO material groups P, M, and S with pressure range of 150–2,250 psi. Coolant connections points include coolant hose connections at back of tool and under head, and direct coolant transfer port for VDI connections. Higher pressures up to 4,500 psi are possible.

Walter Turn Precision Coolant Delivers a Powerful, Directed Coolant Supply that Boosts Productivity, Tool Life and Surface Finish
The new coolant delivery system from Walter can bring improvements ranging from higher cutting speeds to better surface finish
Waukesha, WI -- Walter has introduced Walter Turn Precision Coolant, a powerful and targeted coolant delivery system that produces a direct coolant supply through the insert clamp and along the flank face of the insert. The result is a 30 to 150% tool life increase (depending on material and coolant pressure) for stainless materials, high temperature alloys and steels.
The new system directs coolant precisely at the cutting edge providing greater lubrication, cooler inserts, and improved chip control, beginning at pressures as low as 150 psi. The positive effects increase with pressure, particularly at pressures above 580 psi. This can result in cutting speed improvements of up to 100% while maintaining the same tool life. Along with greater productivity, this improves surface finish with less peripheral zone work hardening, and boosts process reliability. Energy efficiency also benefits from the precisely targeted Walter Turn Precision Coolant system.
The new system is aimed primarily at ISO material groups P, M, and S, with a pressure range of 150 to 2250 psi. This range makes the system suitable for 95% of all machines in use today.
The new coolant delivery system features three coolant connection points: coolant hose connections at the back of the tool and under the head, and a direct coolant transfer port for VDI connections. Higher pressures up to approximately 4500 psi are also possible, especially for aerospace applications.
Walter, a global leader in the metalworking industry with over 90 years of experience in precision cutting tools for milling, drilling, turning, boring and specialized tools, helps customers improve process reliability and increase productivity. With Regional Headquarters in Waukesha, WI, Walter markets its competence brands Walter Valenite, Walter Titex, Walter Prototyp and Walter Multiply through a strong network of distributors and field engineers across subsidiaries in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.
