Iscar is introducing a completely new unique milling system using tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has considerable advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, lowered cutting forces resulting in higher performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the perimeter of various milling cutter types, providing optimum conditions also for heavy-duty applications with remarkable surface quality, saving further finishing operations. Cutters are available for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert has 8 cutting edges, four for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, improving the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges supply on one side strong and dependable clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The usability of this positive axial rake design decreases the cutting forces due to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is essential for use on up-to-date machining centers with pallet systems less rigid than on the conventional transfer lines.

In standard applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch empowering the use of all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the automotive industry it is conventional to use a pair of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which means that all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be utilized.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Recent progress coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking to the future. The new Upgrade campaign, scheduled to be released at the end of year 2008, will offer revolutionary tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to enhance productivity on the shop floor and to boost profits.

Iscar's focus for this year, with no doubt, are the new coatings, new substrate compositions, new cutting edge geometries, new sizes, new tangential clamping mechanisms and new coolant nozzle characteristics. Iscar's future trends include new carbide insert grades for efficient and economical machining, more cutting edges to each insert and advanced tangential clamping apparatus which will significantly cut down the cutting strain. The induction of the AL-TEC, PVD coating chiefly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating chiefly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for improved strength will refashion the way industry machines cast iron. Moreover, Iscar producing mini inserts is an additional trend within the Upgrade movement, referring to minimizing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to aid fine pitch configuration which will accelerate feed rates. In addition, the nominal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential orientation in the pockets facilitate a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool configuration, when compared to standard radially positioned inserts.

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.

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.

Iscar Releases A Completely New Family Of Slitting Cutters Using Tang-Grip Technology And The Durability Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that combine the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the new Sumo Tec insert grades. The concept, already proven successful in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters.

Some Developments Have Extended Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Increased Productivity
Helido-Upfeed 04 Two years ago Iscar introduced the extremely efficient H600 indexable endmill line, based on conceptually new Helido-Upfeed double sided inserts with 6 cutting edges. The first insert launched was the H600 WXCU 0806..., which was designed for milling cutters in the diameter range of 50 to 125 mm.

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 Tools And Carbide Insert Compositions From Iscar To Better The Machining Process
Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts with a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity with a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a different frontal edge.
