The Latest In Carbide Endmill Architectures In A Lengthy And Effective Line From Iscar
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can annihilate chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's revolutionary Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern banishes harmonic vibration, the principal source of chatter. This guarantees faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, end users also report longer edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free feature is attainable in both solid carbide endmills and tips in Iscar's MULTI-MASTER replaceable-tip family. Diameter range is 6 to 20mm for the solid carbide endmills, and 8 to 20mm for MULTI-MASTER tips. These revolutionary endmills are excellent for lower power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide construction can deal with full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip construction is more restricted since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide version effectively 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 innovative solid carbide endmill family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a mixture of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more rapidly and proficiently than ordinary endmills. Yet, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. Accordingly, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill has to be used in order to obtain a flush surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and necessity of maintaining 2 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 2 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 efficient and enables running at rough machining parameters, ending in finish surface quality.
The distinctive tool design diminishes vibration at high load applications.
The tool generates short and long chips concurrently. This chip mixture is evacuated more effectively than each individual chip type, an exceptional solution in slotting and cavity milling applications.
The Finishred is also presented with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which couples the Finishred includes with the benefit of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the wide range of shank and extension choices are available for the Multi-Master milling heads.
A single tool replaces the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore downsizing stock.
Tool change and setup time can be eliminated.
An extra tool position is acquired 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 new endmills are obtainable with three and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with downsized neck diameter, which enable machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting attribute and force distribution can be used very comfortably on reduced power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge includes flat peaks which leave a better surface finish, in relation to the current rougher carbide endmill. The ECP endmills are favored 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 many customers' locations showed extraordinary results.
