Widia has launched the WCE solid end milling platform, designed to offer high performance and reliability for small to medium machine shops. The initial release of the WCE platform features WCE4, a four-flute geometry that combines advanced features with a new, versatile grade.
Two key features of the tool are its asymmetrical index and variable helix. The combination of the two is said to reduce vibrations and enable heavy cuts, while the grade, WU20PE, enables versatility on steel, stainless steel and cast-iron applications. These features in conjunction with with the four-flute geometry offer an end mill with reliable performance and application versatility, even in demanding operations 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. It is available in both metric and inch dimensions. The WCE5 five-flute geometry will be released later in 2022.
