Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's revolutionary Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the chief source of chatter. This guarantees faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, users also report longer edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free aspect is offered 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 excellent for low power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide version can cope with full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip version is more bounded since the active length is shorter. In full slotting functions on alloy steel, the solid carbide construction easily 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 unprecedented solid carbide endmill family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a combination of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more rapidly and adeptly than conventional endmills. However, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. Hence, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill needs to be used in order to obtain a smooth surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and necessity of maintaining 2 endmill types in the stock.

Features of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills feature 4 flutes with 45 degree helix, 2 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 effective and enables running at rough machining parameters, resulting in finish surface quality.

The exceptional tool design reduces vibration at high load applications.

The tool produces short and long chips concurrently. This chip mixture is evacuated more easily than each individual chip type, an fantastic solution in slotting and cavity milling applications.

The Finishred is also presented with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which incorporates the Finishred features with the advantage of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the broad range of shank and extension options are available for the Multi-Master milling heads.

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

Tool change and setup time can be eliminated.

An extra tool position is gained on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for increased Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is announcing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The new endmills are accessible with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with decreased 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 comfortably on reduced power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge incorporates flat peaks which leave a better surface finish, in comparison to the current rougher carbide endmill. 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 introductory tests conducted at various customers' locations showed fantastic results.

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.
