The subsequent insert was the smaller H600 WXCU 05T3..., constructed for tools in the diameter range of 25 to 52mm. Now Iscar is launching the H600 WXCU 0403.... This is an even smaller insert, which expands the tool diameter assortment to include 16 and 20 mm diameter sizes. The Helido-Upfeed high feed milling tools line now incorporates the complete diameter range of 16 to 125mm. All H600 WXCU 04, 05 and 08 inserts are peripherally ground. The new FF EWX...-04 indexable endmills are obtainable in 16 and 20 mm diameters with cylindrical, Weldon, Multi-Master and Flexfit shank types and assorted shank lengths. The tools have a 17 degree lead angle design, so the aftereffect cutting forces are shepherded axially towards the spindle of a machine tool. This design provides high stability and implements machining at extremely high feeds, even for long overhang functions. In addition, the completely new H600 WXCU 0403... insert is clamped into a dovetail pocket which yields very firm clamping. The new insert size is offered in Sumo Tec grades and an assortment of rake angles, to be implemented on a wide range of materials and applications. All of the Helido-Upfeed cutters have coolant holes. This is extraordinarily important when adapted to high feed milling, ramping, plunging and helical interpolation functions and provides incredible performance and tool life. The brand new tools and inserts offer an ideal solution for die and mold production for machining confined cavities.

S845 F45SX.. - R16 A New Generation of Tools for 45 degree Face Milling
Iscar is announcing a new generation of tools for 45 degree milling. The completely new Helido square S845 SXMU 1606 ADTR-MM insert has eight helical right-hand cutting edges, providing a highly economical answer. It is extremely thick and strong and has a wiper which leaves an remarkable surface finish. The insert is clamped by a solid M5 screw into an inclined dovetail pocket which furnishes a very rigid clamping. Due to the most superior production technology, excellent grade compounds, unique chip deflector and positive cutting angles, the cutting edge family features high durability, low cutting forces and outstanding tool life. The brand new insert can be used for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron at very high machining speeds. The tools are available in a diameter range of 40-250mm. They can machine 45 degree slanted shoulders up to 7mm depth. Customers of tools carrying SEKT or SEKN single-ended, positive inserts will find the new S845 F45SX..-R16 tools more good-looking, concerning price per corner and production. The Helido indexable endmill family combines the greatest advantageous features of both the Helimill and the Mill2000, which are the most suitable for heavy milling applications.

OFMW 0706R10-FF A Combination for Fast and Cost effective Face Milling
Iscar is introducing a innovative insert, increasing both the Heliocto and Feedmill indexable endmill families. The OFMW 0706R10-FF insert has 8 Feedmill generous radii segmented cutting edges. The OFMW 0706R10 insert does not necessitate any new tools. It can be clamped on the regular Heliocto HOF tools after taking out their seats. The brand new insert is an extra option for the Heliocto milling cutters which already use the octagonal OF .. 0706/07T3 and the round RF.. 19.. inserts. The HOF cutters, when employed with OFMW 0706R10-FF inserts at small depths of cut, can run at notably high table feeds. At 1/2mm DOC, a 3mm feed per tooth can be utilized. The tool life under the above-mentioned cutting parameters is remarkably high. As with the other Feedmill tools, the accompanying force exerted on the tool is targeted axially towards the spindle. This feature facilitates using the tools for incredibly high metal removal rates.
