● Machine Components A36

WEX1000

WEX1000

The WEX type achieves 1.3x longer tool life for helical milling compared to competitors' products.

Tool: WEX1010EL (ø10) Insert: AXMT060204PDER-L Grade: ACP200 Machine: Vertical machining centre BT40 ● Block Material 4140 Compared to competitors', the machined surface has fewer steps, enabling nishing without changing tool. The WEX type has low cutting force and enables stable machining, while competitors' products have unstable power. Achieves 1.5x longer tool life than competitors' products.
