Iscar Recently Made Public Numerous Brand New Lines To Extend Their Family Of Milling Cutters


Iscar adjustable Milling Cutters

Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will advance milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove specifically beneficial in the automotive and aerospace industries.

The cutters are dynamically stabilized and precisely engineered to work with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts. The use of these inserts will considerably increase surface finish. Regular HSM-rated HELIMILL carbide inserts will also work with these tools. Internal coolant holes allow cooler cutting face with improved chip evacuation and built-up edge resistance. The insert pockets feature a flexible rear stopper, allowing for axial positioning of the cutting edge within 0.002 mm.

Iscar's endmills designated E90AD are offered with HSK A63 shanks in 4 diameters starting from 25 to 50 mm. Iscar Facemills designated F90AD cover the 50 to 80 mm diameter range are offered in 4 sizes.

When used with Iscar HELIMILL carbide inserts, the adjustable high speed milling cutters deliver a invariable cutting action at lesser cutting forces. HELIMILL inserts' helical cutting edges gradually enter the work piece lowering the impact load on the cutting face.

CHATTERFREE Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is expanding the very successful CHATTERFREE solid carbide 4 flute endmill family with the addition of smaller (3, 4 and 5 mm) and larger (25 mm) diameters. The new solid carbide endmills are used for roughing and finishing operations. Due to their variable pitch they showcase superior chatter dampening capability. These endmills are an wonderful resolution for low power machines by improving their material removal rate and eliminating vibration. They can be utilized for full slot machining of up to 2XD with solid carbide endmills.

Iscar's CHATTERFREE endmills improve material removal rate and decrease cycle time in nearly all milling operations. Their distinctive ground geometry provides superior surface finish and prolonged tool life, while machining at high material removal rates.

New ID5 PCD and IB85 PCBN Tipped Milling Inserts

Iscar is adding a brand new TANGMILL ID5 PCD wiper insert and 2 HELIMILL inserts tipped with IB85 PCBN, for machining cast iron and a wide range of hard-to-machine metals at high cutting rates. The new LNAR 1106PN-R-S-W ID5 PCD tipped wiper insert has a very large frontal radius and sharp cutting edge. It provides a consistent clean-cut edge and superior surface finish of less than Ra 0.3 µm. Iscar's new HELIMILL insert ADKW 1505 PDER IB85 has an IB85 PCBN brazed tip and can be used on 90 distinct milling cutters for semi-finishing and finish machining on cast iron. The insert features a 0.8 mm corner radius and a honed cutting edge (0.03 mm). It can be used on the conventional F90AD...-SFR or the E90AD ...-HSK63-S axially adjustable milling tools.

By adjusting the axial position of the inserts, it is conceivable to accomplish a 0.3-0.7 µm surface finish. IB85 is a fine grain polycrystalline cubic boron nitride grade. The compact grain size enables grinding a extraordinarily sharp cutting edge and accomplishing high surface quality, which allow for excellent tool life. The IB85 grade can be used for machining a wide range of tough to machine materials at high cutting rates and provides superb tool life. IB85 contains 85% PCBN with Al Co and W binder.

It is a exceptionally strong and tough material which can be put to use for heavy roughing and interrupted cuts. The range of materials covered by IB85 includes hardened and cast steel of over 45 HRc, grey and nodular cast iron, powder compacted and sintered metals and heat resistant alloys.
