Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in several milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern abolishes harmonic vibration, the chief source of chatter. This empowers faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, customers also report lengthened edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free feature is offered in both solid carbide endmills and tips in Iscar's MULTI-MASTER replaceable-tip line. Diameter range is 6 to 20mm for the solid carbide endmills, and 8 to 20mm for MULTI-MASTER tips. These revolutionary endmills are ideal for low 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 variant is more controlled since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide construction easily handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.

FINISHRED - Revolutionary Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is announcing the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a revolutionary solid carbide endmill family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a incorporation of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more rapidly and effectively than typical endmills. Nevertheless, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. Consequently, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill needs to be used in order to obtain a smooth surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and essentialness of maintaining two endmill types in the stock.

Features of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills feature 4 flutes with 45 degree helix, two serrated flutes and 2 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 remove the grooves caused by the roughing flutes, leaving a fine surface finish.

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

The unique tool design decreases vibration at high load applications.

The tool produces short and long chips simultaneously. This chip mixture is evacuated more efficiently than each individual chip type, an remarkable solution in slotting and cavity milling applications.

The Finishred is also available with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which incorporates the Finishred features with the benefit of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the wide range of shank and extension options are available for the Multi-Master milling heads.

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

Tool change and setup time can be discarded.

An extra tool position is accomplished on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for High Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is announcing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The new endmills are offered with three and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with decreased neck diameter, which enable machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting function and force distribution can be used very proficiently on low power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge incorporates flat peaks which leave a better surface finish, in comparison to the current rougher carbide endmill. The ECP endmills are favored for machining austenitic and martensitic stainless steel, at up to 2xD depth of cut. They can be used on alloyed steel as well. All of the preliminary tests conducted at assorted customers' locations showed fantastic results.
