ISCAR has expanded its popular line of HELIDO ROUND H400 fine-pitch mills to improve profile machining and ramping over a wider range of applications. Included now are 10 and 16mm inserts, to complement the original 12mm insert. Matching cutters cover the 1.0" & 1.25" diameters for endmills and 1.5" to 4" for facemills.
Unlike true rounds, HELIDO 400 ROUND inserts have a periphery that consists of bounding arcs with radii that would be found on pure rounds twice their size. Each insert has four 120 degree arcs. This enables the cutters to have more flutes compared to existing standards resulting in higher feed capability.
The inserts are double sided, with helical cutting edges for gentler entry plus top-face geometry to create 10 degree positive-rake inclination. They feature ISCAR's innovative SUMO TEC post-coating treatment that improves performance 35 percent on average. Each insert provides four 120 degree arcs.
Dovetail clamping design in the cutter helps to direct forces to the body thus relieving clamping screw of the impact loads. The unique HELIDO 400 ROUND insert shape creates four fixed indexing positions per side and firmer no-twist seating able to withstand high cutting forces. Fixed indexing positions also ensure that all four edges are used, and eliminate the uncertainties that lead to discarding of rounds which still have good edges.
ISCAR's new perpendicular toolholder makes it easier to fit PENTACUT 24 grooving and parting tools into overcrowded turrets in high-volume turning operations.
A complete line of standard tools for High Pressure Coolant (HPC) turning from Iscar Metals Inc. puts more efficient turning of titanium, Inconel, and stainless steel within easy reach of any shop. Previously, HPC tooling was available only as a special.
ISCAR TIGERV heavy-duty grooving inserts with a new chipformer design, ensure better tool security, chip control and ejection in difficult grooving operations on carbon and high-alloy steel even at slow speeds.
ISCAR has fine-tuned its workhorse GROOVE TURN cubic boron nitride (CBN) formulation to materially improve rough and finish grooving on hard ferrous materials under a wider range of conditions.
To meet the growing demand from the energy/powergen sector, ISCAR has launched a line of extra-strength standard grooving tools for more efficient and secure machining of T and L slots so common in turbomachinery.
A major expansion of the ISCAR HELIDO 845-13 mill family brings the efficiency and economy of these popular tools to a wider size and application range.
ISCAR has launched a line of improved CUT-GRIP grooving inserts for ID grooving that features the N-type chipformer that has proven so effective in OD turning of problematic metals.
