Manufacturers and die & mold shops can exclude chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's completely new Chatterfree carbide end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern dismisses harmonic vibration, the principal source of chatter. This enables 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 lessened 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 new endmills are excellent for reduced power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide adaptation can manage full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip version is more restrained since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide foundation conveniently handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.

Finishred - Completely New Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is releasing the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a advanced 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 swiftly and proficiently than traditional 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 attain a flush surface finish. This requires time-consuming tool change, setup time and inevitably of maintaining two endmill types in the inventory.

Qualities 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 farther from the tool axis than the cutting edges of the serrated flutes. The finishing flutes eliminate the grooves generated by the roughing flutes, leaving a smooth surface finish.

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

The unique 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 exceptional solution in slotting and cavity milling operations.

The Finishred is also offered with the Multi-Master indexable milling head selection which combines the Finishred includes with the benefit of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the extensive range of shank and extension choices are offered for the Multi-Master milling heads.

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

Tool change and setup time can be eliminated.

An added tool position is gained on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Increased Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is establishing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The unprecedented endmills are available with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They have 2xD and long shanks with reduced neck diameter, which facilitate machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting element and force distribution can be used very efficiently on low power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge incorperates flat peaks which leave a greater surface finish, in contrast to the current rougher carbide endmills. The ECP endmills are recommended 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 numerous customers' locations showed remarkable results.
