Iscar now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that join the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the increased sturdiness of the new Sumo Tec insert grades.

The perception, already confirmed effective in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets accompanied by a special hand tool, and are gripped tightly in place without having the need for clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and thwart chip flow. The pocket design utilizes cutting forces to keep the insert seated firmly in position, eliminating any chance of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters additional accurate slitting cuts plus increased pocket and insert life.

Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades showcase a specialized post-coating treatment which extensively improves tool life and dependability.

Introduced in late '07, the revolutionary Sumo Tec treatment smooths the insert's coated surface to eliminate microscopic stress raisers, lessen heat and friction and enhance chip flow. The result is enhanced toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to greater tool life. The golden-colored flank on Sumo Tec inserts eases wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters offer more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, enabling higher feed rates.

Their better rigidity leads to straighter, increased accurate cuts and reduced vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The new Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accommodate the exact same selection of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Several other sizes will be added.

Obtainable Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate beneath a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, offering incredible resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is recommended for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys & carbon steel.

IC830, providing additional toughness for heavier parting and grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is suited for any stainless steel and high temperature alloys.

IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with incredible chipping resistance, combined with a completely new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is ideal for nodular or gray cast iron.

IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades suitable for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are additionally favored for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.

Each Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are available in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.

Some Of The Many 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.

New Cutters And Carbide Insert Configurations From Iscar To Better The Machining Process
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.

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.

Completely New End Mills From Iscar Can Enhance 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.
