The cutter is a left-hand cutting tool that features a 15-degree helix angle. Cooling with compressed air makes it possible to achieve maximum tool life in materials harder than 50 HRC. Additionally, internal coolant delivery is available for tools that create the M6 size through the larger thread sizes. The tool shank is in accordance with the DIN 6535 HA standard.

The cutter’s face milling geometry is designed for core hole creation and chamfering. After chamfering to start a hole in the workpiece material, the tool creates the core hole and thread using helical interpolation.

Walter has introduced the TC685 Supreme orbital drill/thread milling cutter, which produces the core hole, the chamfer, and thread in one operation.

They can be used in machining centres, drilling machines, and lathes. While on lathe machines, they also can also be used as a boring bar, making use of the X-offset feature in horizontal cutting.
