Ceratizit will showcase its versatile and durable WTX-UNI universal drill range along with the company’s MaxiMill – S-Power and reimagined MonsterMill ISO-S range of milling cutters for machining cast iron and nickel-based or titanium alloys, respectively, at SOUTHTEC 2025 in booth #1614 October 21-23 at the Greenville Convention Center in Greenville, South Carolina. The tooling featured at SOUTHTEC along with Ceratizit’s full portfolio of tooling solutions demonstrate the company’s continued commitment to provide manufacturers the most advanced cutting technology available for efficient and precise machining.
“Our team has been intentional about serving manufacturers in the southeast region of the U.S. who attend the show,” said Troy Wilt, managing director Ceratizit USA. “Aerospace and automotive industries can find new efficiencies to address very specific material challenges with Ceratizit milling cutters that will be featured at SOUTHTEC, for example. At the same time, the WTX-UNI drill range can offer job shops that work with a variety of materials reliability, flexibility, and precision.”
Now available in inch assortment, Ceratizit’s powerful and versatile WTX-UNI drill range offers manufacturers an entirely new geometry with patented features. WTX-UNI provides long tool life and reliable precision drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened steels and reduces downtime associated with tool changeovers.
The WTX-UNI tools are the first solid carbide drilling tools made from CT-GS20Y, Ceratizit’s most sustainable upGRADE carbide to date. They deliver a significant performance increase, better cutting data and longer tool life compared to their predecessors. Ceratizit upGRADE is reprocessed tungsten carbide powder that features the highest material recycling rate in its class. Between 50 and 99 percent of the powder is reprocessed with advanced metallurgical technology using 100 percent renewable energy.
Furthering their value as a universal, cost-effective tooling solution, WTX-UNI drills can be reground to their original geometries and the original coating reapplied.
MaxiMill – S-Power milling cutters are optimized for machining cast iron, where shops often encounter heavy tool wear, extreme burr formation, and breakouts on workpiece edges. A high tooth count – 12 teeth with Ø63 mm – and double-sided indexable inserts provide a cutting system with optimal performance in a highly stable, low-vibration platform.
The milling cutters’ double-sided indexable inserts boast eight cutting edges made from premium substrates with Ceratizit’s Dragonskin coating to ensure high performance with a smooth cutting action. The sturdy construction with robust insert seat and double wedge clamp guarantees a secure hold and high axial and radial run-out accuracy.
MaxiMill – S-Power complements existing face milling systems from Ceratizit and is ideal for cast iron components made from GJS, GJV and GJL. For machining Inconel, Hastelloy, Waspaloy and other nickel-based alloys, Ceratizit has added a new six-edge cutter to its MonsterMill ISO-S range.
