Iscar Recently Made Public Several Original Lines To Increase Their Family Of Milling Tools

Iscar adjustable Milling Cutters

Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will upgrade milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove specifically beneficial in the automotive and aerospace industries.

The cutters are dynamically balanced and particularly engineered to work with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts. The use of these inserts will exceedingly improve surface finish. Conventional HSM-rated HELIMILL carbide inserts will additionally work with these tools. Internal coolant holes permit cooler cutting face and improved chip discharge and built-up edge resistance. The insert pockets feature a flexible rear stopper, allowing for axial positioning of the cutting edge within 0.002 mm.

Iscar's endmills designated E90AD are offered with HSK A63 shanks in 4 diameters from 25 to 50 mm. Iscar Facemills designated F90AD cover the 50 to 80 mm diameter range are offered in 4 diameters.

When used with Iscar HELIMILL carbide inserts, the adjustable high speed milling cutters produce a invariable cutting action at lesser cutting forces. HELIMILL inserts' helical cutting edges gradually enter the work piece diminishing the impact load on the cutting face.

CHATTERFREE Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is enlarging the highly successful CHATTERFREE solid carbide 4 flute endmill family with the addition of smaller (3, 4 and 5 mm) and larger (25 mm) diameters. The latest solid carbide endmills are utilized for roughing and finishing operations. Due to their variable pitch they feature exceptional chatter dampening capability. These endmills are an excellent resolution for low power machines by improving their material removal rate and decreasing vibration. They can be utilized for full slot machining of up to 2XD with solid carbide endmills.

Iscar's CHATTERFREE endmills improve stock removal rate and cut down cycle time in most milling operations. Their special ground geometry provides excellent surface finish and prolonged tool life, while machining at high material removal rates.

New ID5 PCD and IB85 PCBN Tipped Milling Inserts

Iscar is adding a brand new TANGMILL ID5 PCD wiper insert and 2 HELIMILL inserts tipped with IB85 PCBN, for machining cast iron and a extensive range of hard-to-machine metals at high cutting rates. The new LNAR 1106PN-R-S-W ID5 PCD tipped wiper insert has a very large frontal radius and sharp cutting edge. It provides a consistent clean-cut edge and superior surface finish of less than Ra 0.3 µm. Iscar's new HELIMILL insert ADKW 1505 PDER IB85 has an IB85 PCBN brazed tip and can be used on 90 various milling cutters for semi-finishing and finish machining on cast iron. The insert features a 0.8 mm corner radius and a honed cutting edge (0.03 mm). It can be used on the conventional F90AD...-SFR or the E90AD ...-HSK63-S axially adjustable milling cutters.

By adjusting the axial position of the inserts, it is conceivable to accomplish a 0.3-0.7 µm surface finish. IB85 is a fine grain polycrystalline cubic boron nitride grade. The minimal grain size enables grinding a very sharp cutting edge and accomplishing high surface quality, which provide excellent tool life. The IB85 grade can be used for machining a wide range of tough to machine materials at high cutting rates and provides superior tool life. IB85 contains 85% PCBN with Al Co and W binder.

It is a tremendously strong and tough material which can be utilized for heavy roughing and interrupted cuts. The array of materials covered by IB85 encompasses hardened and cast steel of over 45 HRc, grey and nodular cast iron, powder compacted and sintered metals and heat resistant alloys.

Iscar Releases A Revolutionary Line Of Slitting Cutters Using 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.

Completely New End Mills From Iscar Can Boost 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.

A Few Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar Over The Last Decade
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 Shapes From Iscar To Better Maximize 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.

Many Progressions Have Broadened 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.
