The next insert was the smaller H600 WXCU 05T3..., designed for tools in the diameter range of 25 to 52mm. Now Iscar is announcing the H600 WXCU 0403.... This is an even tinier insert, which broadens the tool diameter assortment to include 16 and 20 mm diameter sizes. The Helido-Upfeed high feed milling tools line now includes the complete diameter range of 16 to 125mm. All H600 WXCU 04, 05 and 08 inserts are peripherally ground. The completely new FF EWX...-04 indexable endmills are offered in 16 and 20 mm diameters with cylindrical, Weldon, Multi-Master and Flexfit shank types and an assortment of shank lengths. The tools have a 17 degree lead angle arrangement, so the subsequent cutting forces are directed axially towards the spindle of a machine tool. This design provides elevated stability and permits machining at extremely high feeds, even for long overhang functions. In addition, the completely new H600 WXCU 0403... insert is clamped into a dovetail pocket which sustains very firm clamping. The new insert size is offered in Sumo Tec grades and various rake angles, to be administered on a wide range of materials and applications. All of the Helido-Upfeed cutters have coolant holes. This is particularly important when exercised to high feed milling, ramping, plunging and helical interpolation applications and provides incredible performance and tool life. The brand new tools and inserts offer an ideal solution for die and mold production for machining restricted cavities.

S845 F45SX.. - R16 A New Generation of Tools for 45 degree Face Milling
Iscar is introducing a new family of tools for 45 degree milling. The revolutionary Helido square S845 SXMU 1606 ADTR-MM insert has 8 helical right-hand cutting edges, providing a extraordinarily economical alternative. It is very thick and strong and has a wiper which leaves an fantastic surface finish. The insert is clamped by a solid M5 screw into an inclined dovetail pocket which produces a very rigid clamping. Due to the most advanced production technology, excellent grade combination, unique chip deflector and positive cutting angles, the new generation features high durability, low cutting forces and outstanding tool life. The new insert can be used for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron at very high machining speeds. The tools are available in a diameter range of 40-250mm. They can machine 45 degree slanted shoulders up to 7mm depth. Users of tools carrying SEKT or SEKN single-ended, positive inserts will observe the new S845 F45SX..-R16 tools more good-looking, concerning price per corner and performance. The Helido indexable endmill family combines the most advantageous features of both the Helimill and the Mill2000, which are the most suitable for heavy milling applications.

OFMW 0706R10-FF A Combination for Fast and Economical Face Milling
Iscar is introducing a revolutionary insert, increasing both the Heliocto and Feedmill indexable endmill families. The OFMW 0706R10-FF insert has eight Feedmill significant radii segmented cutting edges. The OFMW 0706R10 insert does not demand any new tools. It can be clamped on the standard Heliocto HOF tools after eliminating their seats. The new insert is another option for the Heliocto milling cutters which already use the octagonal OF .. 0706/07T3 and the round RF.. 19.. inserts. The HOF cutters, when employed with OFMW 0706R10-FF inserts at small depths of cut, can run at remarkably high table feeds. At 1/2mm DOC, a 3mm feed per tooth can be used. The tool life under the above-mentioned cutting parameters is very high. As with the other Feedmill tools, the resulting force exerted on the tool is aimed axially towards the spindle. This feature warrants using the tools for tremendously high metal removal rates.
