Iscar right now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that incorporate the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the increased strength of the completely new Sumo Tec insert grades.

The perception, already established effective in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been spread to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets accompanying a specific hand tool, and are held tightly in place without the need without requiring clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and thwart chip flow. The pocket configuration utilizes cutting forces to retain the insert seated tightly in position, removing any risk of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters increased accurate slitting cuts plus lengthened pocket and insert lifespan.

Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades showcase a unique post-coating treatment which extensively increases tool life and constancy.

Launched in late '07, the revolutionary Sumo Tec treatment flattens the insert's coated surface to dispose of microscopic stress raisers, lessen heat and friction and increase chip flow. The result is enhanced toughness and opposition to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to enhanced tool lifespan. The golden-colored flank on Sumo Tec inserts aides wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters give more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, permitting higher feed rates.

Their better rigidity leads to straighter, additional accurate cuts and lowered vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The revolutionary Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accept the exact same variety of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Additional sizes will be added.

Existing Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate below a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, providing incredible resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is endorsed for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys & carbon steel.

IC830, supplying increased toughness for heavier parting & grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is suited for every stainless steel & high temperature alloys.

IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with incredible chipping resistance, joined with a brand new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is perfect for nodular or grey cast iron.

IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades fitting for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are also suggested for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.

Every Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are attainable in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.

Iscar Recently Releases Numerous Revolutionary Lines To Increase Their Family Of Milling Cutters
Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will improve milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.

The Latest In Carbide Endmill Configuration In A Long And Effective Family From Iscar
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree endmills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the main source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.

Some Of The Several 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.

Push Pull Testing For Construction Industry With Calibrated Measuring Instruments. Stress Load Testing Procedures For On Site Documentation To Testing Requirements.
Push Pull Testing for the Railway industry for proof of reliable anchor fixings. Calibrated push pull force gauges are used for stress load testing along with tensile strength pull testing procedures. Proof of load testing undertaken, measured, recorded in a reliable and standard way to BS5080 Part 1 standards.

A Few Of Innovations In Carbide Inserts Thanks To Iscar Across The Former Decade
Iscar is announcing a brand new unique milling system that includes tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has meaningful advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in better performance.

Brand New End Mills From Iscar Can Raise Productivity While Reducing Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.

Determining The Right Commercial Water Heater For You Needs
If you are in the market for a commercial water heater then consider what the needed application is and your overall cost to determine which is best for you. Since there are so many to choose from you may have to do some calculating in order to match the need.
