Revolutionary End Mills By Iscar Can Increase Productivity While Cutting Down Costs
Producers and die & mold shops can exclude chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree carbide end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern omits harmonic vibration, the prime source of chatter. This permits faster cutting and smoother finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, users also report sustained edge life due to lowered chatter. The chatter-free feature is applicable 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 new endmills are excellent for lower power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide adaptation can handle full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth ability on the replaceable-tip version is more constrained since the active length is shorter. In full slotting applications on alloy steel, the solid carbide fabrication conveniently handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.
Finishred - Ground Breaking Solid Carbide Endmills
Iscar is presenting the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a advanced solid carbide end mills family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a consolidation of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more speedily and accurately 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 obtain a smooth surface finish. This demands time-consuming tool change, setup time and inevitably of maintaining two endmill types in the inventory.
Functions of the Finishred Endmills:
The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills present 4 flutes with 45 degree helix, two serrated flutes and two 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 abolish the grooves generated by the roughing flutes, leaving a fine surface finish.
The tool is fully functional and enables running at rough machining parameters, resulting in finish surface quality.
The unique tool design diminishes vibration at high load applications.
The tool creates short and long chips concurrently. This chip mixture is evacuated more quickly than each individual chip type, an outstanding solution in slotting and cavity milling operations.
The Finishred is also accessible with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which combines the Finishred includes with the benefit of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the comprehensive range of shank and extension choices are presented for the Multi-Master milling heads.
A single tool substitutes the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore lowering inventory.
Tool change and setup time can be discarded.
An added tool position is gained on the machine
New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Raised Metal Removal Rates
ISCAR is releasing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The unprecedented endmills are obtainable with 3 and four 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with lessened neck diameter, which help machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting feature and force distribution can be used very effectively on lesser power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge includes flat peaks which leave a enhanced surface finish, in comparison to the current rougher carbide endmills. 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 various customers' locations showed remarkable results.
