Completely New End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Expand Productivity While Lowering Costs
Producers and die & mold shops can eradicate chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's revolutionary Chatterfree carbide end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eradicates harmonic vibration, the principal source of chatter. This permits faster cutting and greater finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, users also report lasting edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free feature is realizable 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 completely new endmills are ideal for lower power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide version can manage full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability 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 - Brand New Solid Carbide Endmills
Iscar is presenting the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a innovative solid carbide end mills family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a blending of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove metal from work pieces more rapidly and adequately than standard endmills. However, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. In consequence, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill must to be used in order to accomplish a smooth surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and inevitably of maintaining two endmill types in the inventory.
Benefits 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 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 constant surface finish.
The tool is fully functional and facilitates running at rough machining parameters, resulting in finish surface quality.
The unique tool design diminishes vibration at high load applications.
The tool creates short and long chips simultaneously. This chip mixture is evacuated more quickly than each individual chip type, an exceptional solution in slotting and cavity milling functions.
The Finishred is also obtainable with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which incorporates the Finishred includes with the advantage of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the wide range of shank and extension choices are presented for the Multi-Master milling heads.
A single tool combines the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore lowering stock.
Tool change and setup time can be discarded.
An additional tool position is gained on the machine
New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Raised Metal Removal Rates
ISCAR is announcing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The revolutionary endmills are obtainable with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They have 2xD and long shanks with decreased neck diameter, which help machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting feature and force distribution can be used very adequately on low power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge incorperates 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 implemented on alloyed steel as well. All of the preliminary tests conducted at various customers' locations showed striking results.
