The Most Recent In Carbide Endmill Architectures In A Long And Successful Family From Iscar

Manufacturers and die & mold shops can annihilate chatter problems in several milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern annihilates harmonic vibration, the principal source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, customers also report longer edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free capability is attainable 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 revolutionary endmills are ideal for reduced power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide variant can handle full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip variant is more limited since the active length is shorter. In full slotting operations on alloy steel, the solid carbide variant 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 releasing the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a revolutionary 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 swiftly and efficiently than typical endmills. However, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. In consequence, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill must to be used in order to obtain a even surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and inevitably of maintaining two endmill types in the inventory.

Features of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills feature four flutes with 45 degree helix, two serrated flutes and 2 continuous flutes.

The cutting edges of the finishing flutes are radially further 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 fine surface finish.

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

The unique tool design lessens vibration at high load applications.

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

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

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

Tool change and setup time can be discarded.

An extra tool position is gained on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Elevated Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is establishing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The completely new endmills are offered with three and 4 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with diminished neck diameter, which enable machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting function and force distribution can be used very effectively on reduced power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge includes flat peaks which leave a better surface finish, in relation to the current rougher carbide endmill. The ECP endmills are favored 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 several customers' locations showed incredible results.

A Few Of The Numerous Advancements In Carbide Inserts Coming From 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.

Iscar Offers A Completely New Line Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength 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 Numerous Revolutionary Lines To Enlarge Their Family Of Milling Tools
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.

Completely New Tools And Carbide Insert Configurations From Iscar To Better Improve The Machining Method
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.

Revolutionary End Mills By Iscar Can Expand Productivity While Lowering Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.
