What has 16 faces and gives the best cost per edge advantage in medium-roughing and semi-finishing applications of steels, stainless steels, cast iron and nodular iron? Well, if you guessed WIDIA’s new M1600 16-Edged Face Mill than you are one smart machinist.

WIDIA is known for its excellence in innovation
You might think that you have seen other 16-edged face mills before, but this one is from WIDIA, known for its robust tool performance and tool life. A company that has consistently followed the philosophy of “Be the Best” for over 90 years.

What makes the WIDIA M1600 so special?
The new M1600 was added to the WIDIA indexable milling portfolio to make their face milling offering more comprehensive.
