Producers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's revolutionary Chatterfree carbide end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eradicates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and superior 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 applicable 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 brand new endmills are perfect for lower power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide variant can manage full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip version is more constrained since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide construction surely 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 innovative solid carbide end mills family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a consolidation of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more swiftly and proficiently than conventional endmills. However, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. In consequence, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill needs to be used in order to obtain a flush surface finish. This demands time-consuming tool change, setup time and inevitably of keeping two 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 phase out the grooves caused by the roughing flutes, leaving a flush surface finish.

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

The distinguished tool design lessens vibration at high load applications.

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

The Finishred is also made available with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which incorporates the Finishred includes with the usefulness 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 substitutes the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore lowering stock.

Tool change and setup time can be waived.

An extra tool position is produced on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Elevated Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is releasing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The radical endmills are presented with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with reduced neck diameter, which facilitate machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting feature and force distribution can be used very effectually on lesser power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge includes flat peaks which leave a greater surface finish, in association to the current rougher carbide endmills. The ECP endmills are suggested 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 numerous customers' locations showed remarkable results.

A Handful Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts Provided By Iscar Through The Former Decade
Iscar is announcing a brand new unique milling system that includes tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has meaningful advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in better performance.
