Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the foremost source of chatter. This facilitates faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, users also report lengthened edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free element 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 completely new endmills are ideal for low power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide construction can deal with full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip version is more controlled since the active length is shorter. In full slotting functions on alloy steel, the solid carbide variant easily 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 revolutionary solid carbide endmill 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 quickly and proficiently than conventional endmills. Nevertheless, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. Accordingly, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill must to be used in order to obtain a smooth surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and essentialness of maintaining two endmill types in the stock.

Features of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills feature 4 flutes with 45 degree helix, 2 serrated flutes and two 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 remove the grooves caused by the roughing flutes, leaving a fine surface finish.

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

The unique tool design reduces vibration at high load applications.

The tool generates short and long chips concurrently. This chip mixture is evacuated more easily than each individual chip type, an remarkable solution in slotting and cavity milling applications.

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

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

Tool change and setup time can be eliminated.

An extra tool position is accomplished on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for increased Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is establishing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The new endmills are obtainable with three and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with downsized neck diameter, which allow machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting feature and force distribution can be used very proficiently on low power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge includes flat peaks which leave a better surface finish, in comparison 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 preliminary tests conducted at various customers' locations showed superb results.

Iscar Releases A New Line 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 Releases Many Brand New Lines To Enlarge 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.

Some Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar From Over The Years
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.

Numerous Progressions Have Enlarged Iscar's Line 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.
