Manufacturers and die & mold shops can abolish chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's completely new Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the chief source of chatter. This guarantees 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 feature is available 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 new endmills are excellent for low power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide version can cope with full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip version is more reserved since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide version effectively 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 introducing the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a unprecedented 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 rapidly and adeptly than conventional endmills. Yet, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. Consequently, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill has to be used in order to obtain a flat surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and necessity of maintaining 2 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 farther 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 smooth surface finish.

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

The exceptional tool design reduces vibration at high load applications.

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

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

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

Tool change and setup time can be eliminated.

An extra tool position is acquired on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for High Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is introducing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The brand new endmills are available with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with decreased neck diameter, which facilitate machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting ability and force distribution can be used very successfully on low 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 recommended 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 various customers' locations showed remarkable results.

Iscar Releases A Completely New Family Of Slitting Cutters Using 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.

Some Of The Several Improvements 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.
