The Newest In Carbide Endmill Configuration In A Extensive And Prosperous Line From Iscar

Manufacturers and die & mold shops can annihilate chatter problems in several milling operations with Iscar's revolutionary Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern annihilates harmonic vibration, the chief source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, users also report prolonged edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free function is presented in both solid carbide endmills and tips in Iscar's MULTI-MASTER replaceable-tip family. Diameter range is 6 to 20mm for the solid carbide endmills, and 8 to 20mm for MULTI-MASTER tips. These completely new endmills are excellent for reduced power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide version can handle full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip version is more restrained since the active length is shorter. In full slotting functions on alloy steel, the solid carbide version simply handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.

FINISHRED - Revolutionary Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is announcing the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a unprecedented solid carbide endmill family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a blending of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more rapidly and efficiently than ordinary endmills. Nonetheless, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. Hence, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill has to be used in order to obtain a even surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and essentialness of maintaining 2 endmill types in the inventory.

Features of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills feature 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 eliminate the grooves caused by the roughing flutes, leaving a smooth surface finish.

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

The exceptional tool design lessens vibration at high load applications.

The tool produces short and long chips simultaneously. This chip mixture is evacuated more effectively than each individual chip type, an exceptional solution in slotting and cavity milling applications.

The Finishred is also presented with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which merges the Finishred incorporates with the benefit of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the broad range of shank and extension choices are available for the Multi-Master milling heads.

A single tool replaces the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore reducing stock.

Tool change and setup time can be disregarded.

An extra tool position is acquired on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for increased Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is introducing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The completely new endmills are obtainable with 3 and 4 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with decreased neck diameter, which enable machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting ability and force distribution can be used very efficiently on reduced power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge features flat peaks which leave a better surface finish, in contrast to the current rougher carbide endmill. The ECP endmills are endorsed 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 introductory tests conducted at several customers' locations showed remarkable results.

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.

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.

Iscar Adds Their Most Recent Innovations To A Extensive Line Of Outstanding Hole Generating Solutions
Iscar recently released several different drilling innovations to meet their customers needs. These new products are Sumocham Drill, DR-DH and Deep Drills. Drawing off of their experience Iscar has come up with new and innovative ways to increase productivity for the end user.

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.

Iscar Recently Made Public Several Revolutionary Lines To Continue Their Family Of Milling Cutters
Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will improve milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.
