Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts having a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity having a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer having a dissimilar frontal edge.

The completely new chipformer was developed for machining soft materials. It is an terrific solution for parting bearing steel and other very ductile materials. It can be used at low feed: 0.03 to 0.10 mm/rev.

The combination of the unique chipformer and IC908 grade provides excellent chip breaking and tool life results. The Penta 34-PB is available in a 1.5 to 3.0 mm width range, made from the functional IC908 PVD coated grade. The unique family advances the application range of Iscar's most practical grooving and parting PENTA 34 carbide inserts. The Penta 34-PB, when examined to a competitor's cutter, is a winning solution for machining all soft and ductile material.

Iscar's Upgrades for Parting

Iscar has developed a new family of reinforced Tang-Grip blades for the acclaimed TRAUB (TNL and TNK models) and INDEX (MS18C model) turn/mill machines. These blades, due to their reinforced configuration, can be implemented in long overhang. Only the part of the blade required for penetration (cutting depth) has a reduced width. The remainder is thick, which provides upgraded rigidity and stiffness. These blades are an superior solution for parting and grooving between the main and sub-spindle of turn/mill machines. The single-ended insert has a extremely rigid clamping and therefore provides a very important advantage over any other system.

Further additions to Iscar's Grip family are Do-Grip carbide inserts formed from the cutting edge Sumo Tec carbide grades: IC807 IC808 and IC830. The brand new Sumo Tec grades extremely increase insert life, due to the greatest advanced coating technology followed by a special surface treatment. This also provides bettered tool life due to low surface stress and an evenly coated top surface. The flat surface contributes to constant uninterrupted chip flow, less generated heat and less friction. The new process increases toughness and chipping resistance and thus lowers friction and built-up edge. This in turn extends and prolongs tool life at increased machining conditions for all types of work piece materials. The new PVD process is fashioned of Iscar's AL-TEC coating technology, utilizing the unique surface treatment.

Iscar's Chip Splitting Inserts
Iscar's brand new HM90 APCR 220605-CS grooved carbide inserts put an end to chip obstruction dilemmas in rough milling of aluminum, where chips can pile up. They are a part of Iscar's growing Helialu HM90 line of inserts tailored specially for aluminum milling. With 2 grooves pressed into every polished cutting face, the inserts split aluminum chips into a manageable size for easy, constant evacuation despite the application's characteristic high chip volume. The 22 mm inserts, each with two edges, are designed to magnify metal removal over the profuse range of aluminum roughing conditions, from high power/low speed to high power/high speed. They work especially well with Iscar's revolutionary HM90 EAL/FAL...22 aluminum rough milling cutters. Besides dependably clearing chips, the inserts conserve power and cut down chatter in long-overhang setups. The inserts feature a cavity on the bottom to ensure correct mounting in cutter chip pockets furnished with standard spring pins. For maximum chip control, Iscar proposes using the HM90 APCR chip-splitting insert only in cutters with an even number of flutes.

Some Of Advancements In Carbide Inserts From Iscar
Iscar is introducing a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has significant advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in higher performance.

Completely New End Mills By Iscar Will Expand Productivity While Shrinking Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.

Many Improvements Have Multiplied Iscar's Line Of Indexable Endmills For Heightened Productivity
Helido-Upfeed 04 Two years ago Iscar introduced the extremely efficient H600 indexable endmill line, based on conceptually new Helido-Upfeed double sided inserts with 6 cutting edges. The first insert launched was the H600 WXCU 0806..., which was designed for milling cutters in the diameter range of 50 to 125 mm.

Iscar Recently Releases Several Brand New Lines To Extend Their Family Of Milling Cutters
Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will improve milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Iscar Adds Their Most Recent Innovations To A Extensive Line Of Successful Hole Making Solutions
Iscar recently released several different drilling innovations to meet their customers needs. These new products are Sumocham Drill, DR-DH and Deep Drills. Drawing off of their experience Iscar has come up with new and innovative ways to increase productivity for the end user.
