Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in plenty milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree carbide end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eradicates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and excellent finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, users also report prolonged edge life due to decreased chatter. The chatter-free feature 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 unique endmills are ideal for lower power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide variant can manage full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth ability on the replaceable-tip version is more constrained since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide fabrication efficiently handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.

Finishred - Unprecedented Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is presenting the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a revolutionary 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 accurately than conventional endmills. However, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. In consequence, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill has to be used in order to accomplish a even surface finish. This means 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 more distant from the tool axis than the cutting edges of the serrated flutes. The finishing flutes phase out the grooves produced by the roughing flutes, leaving a smooth surface finish.

The tool is fully competent and permits running at rough machining parameters, ending 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 easily than each individual chip type, an extraordinary solution in slotting and cavity milling applications.

The Finishred is also accessible with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which couples the Finishred includes with the advantage 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 attained on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Elevated Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is announcing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The revolutionary endmills are presented with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with reduced neck diameter, which aid machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting feature and force distribution can be used very effectively on low power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge includes flat peaks which leave a improved surface finish, in comparison to the current rougher carbide endmills. The ECP endmills are advocated 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 exceptional results.

A Few Of The Several Advancements In Carbide Inserts By 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.
