Cutting Edge End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Raise Productivity While Shrinking Costs

Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eradicate chatter problems in plenty milling operations with Iscar's brand new Chatterfree carbide end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern annihilates harmonic vibration, the central source of chatter. This permits faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, users also report sustained edge life due to diminished chatter. The chatter-free feature is attainable in both solid carbide endmills and tips in Iscar's Multi-Master replaceable-tip line. Diameter range is 6 to 20mm for the solid carbide endmills, and 8 to 20mm for Multi-Master tips. These unique endmills are ideal for reduced power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide variant can conduct full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip version is more subdued since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide build efficiently handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.

Finishred - Innovative Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is presenting the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a revolutionary solid carbide end mills family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a combination of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more rapidly and proficiently than standard endmills. However, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. In repercussion, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill has to be used in order to achieve a even surface finish. This requires time-consuming tool change, setup time and inevitably of maintaining two endmill types in the inventory.

Benefits of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills present 4 flutes with 45 degree helix, two serrated flutes and two continuous flutes.

The cutting edges of the finishing flutes are radially farther from the tool axis than the cutting edges of the serrated flutes. The finishing flutes reduce the grooves induced by the roughing flutes, leaving a smooth surface finish.

The tool is fully competent and permits running at rough machining parameters, ending in finish surface quality.

The unique tool design decreases vibration at high load applications.

The tool creates short and long chips together. This chip mixture is evacuated more readily than each individual chip type, an outstanding solution in slotting and cavity milling operations.

The Finishred is also accessible with the Multi-Master indexable milling head alternative which couples the Finishred includes with the advantage of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the ample range of shank and extension choices are accessible for the Multi-Master milling heads.

A single tool incorporates the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore lowering stock.

Tool change and setup time can be discarded.

An added tool position is attained on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Raised Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is announcing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The unprecedented endmills are available with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with lessened neck diameter, which facilitate machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting factor and force distribution can be used very adequately on low power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge includes flat peaks which leave a nicer surface finish, in comparison to the current rougher carbide endmills. The ECP endmills are acceptable for machining austenitic and martensitic stainless steel, at up to 2xD depth of cut. They can be used on alloyed steel as well. All of the preliminary tests conducted at various customers' locations showed remarkable results.

New Cutters And Carbide Insert Configurations From Iscar To Better Maximize The Machining Procedure
Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts with a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity with a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a different frontal edge.

Various Developments Have Increased Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Increased Productivity
Helido-Upfeed 04 Two years ago Iscar introduced the extremely efficient H600 indexable endmill line, based on conceptually new Helido-Upfeed double sided inserts with 6 cutting edges. The first insert launched was the H600 WXCU 0806..., which was designed for milling cutters in the diameter range of 50 to 125 mm.

Iscar Offers A New Family Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Durability Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that combine the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the new Sumo Tec insert grades. The concept, already proven successful in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters.

A Couple Of The Several Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar
Iscar is introducing a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has significant advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in higher performance.
