Revolutionary End Mills Coming From Iscar Can Enhance Productivity While Shrinking Costs


Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in plenty milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree carbide end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern annihilates 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 longer edge life due to lessened 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 excellent for reduced power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide adaptation can achieve full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capacity on the replaceable-tip version is more subdued since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide build successfully handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.

Finishred - Ground Breaking Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is introducing the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a revolutionary solid carbide end mills family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a combination of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove metal from work pieces more promptly and proficiently than conventional endmills. However, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. In repercussion, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill has to be used in order to obtain a even surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and inevitably of keeping two endmill types in the inventory.

Benefits of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills present 4 flutes with 45 degree helix, two serrated flutes and two continuous flutes.

The cutting edges of the finishing flutes are radially further from the tool axis than the cutting edges of the serrated flutes. The finishing flutes eliminate the grooves caused by the roughing flutes, leaving a fine surface finish.

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

The notable tool design subdues 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 featured with the Multi-Master indexable milling head selection which couples the Finishred includes with the usefulness of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the extensive range of shank and extension choices are obtainable for the Multi-Master milling heads.

A single tool replaces the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore lowering stock.

Tool change and setup time can be discarded.

An extra tool position is produced on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Heightened Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is establishing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The innovative endmills are available with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with lessened 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 lesser power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge incorperates flat peaks which leave a enhanced surface finish, in contrast to the current rougher carbide endmills. The ECP endmills are acceptable for machining austenitic and martensitic stainless steel, at up to 2xD depth of cut. They can be utilized on alloyed steel as well. All of the preliminary tests conducted at many customers' locations showed striking results.
