            • The combination of tangential clamping and free chip flow results in improved tool and pocket life.
            • Provides a solution to the problem of inserts being pulled out during retraction.
          • PENTA-CUT

          • 5 Cutting Edge Insert for Economical Grooving, Parting and Recessing

            ISCAR’s 5 cutting edge PENTACUT 24 and 34 inserts are designed for multifunction applications including grooving, parting, recessing and chamfering.

            This cost effective insert is designed to perform grooving operations and parting off solid bars up to 20 mm in diameter. Each cutting edge on the pentagonal shaped insert is equipped with a unique J and C-type chipformer to achieve excellent chip control in grooving, parting and recessing (light side turning) applications.

            PENTACUT also has the ability to perform threading applications. Full profile inserts are available in the following thread standards: ISO, UN, Whitworth, BSPT and NPT. Partial profile inserts are available in 600 (MT) and 550 (WT) profiles.

            The insert is tangentially mounted on a side of the holder, positioned against two peripheral contact surfaces to ensure accuracy of center height. Clamping of the insert is by a side torx screw. The torx screw can be activated from either side of the holder to enable insert indexing (rotation) without having to remove the holder from the machine turret. The short head of the holder ensures minimal overhang and high stability. The PENTACUT tools can be mounted on any type of lathe.
          • JET-CUT

          • A New Parting Insert with Direct Jet Cooling
            ISCAR has upgraded the DO-GRIP parting insert.
            The insert features a coolant hole that passes through the insert, with an outlet near the cutting edge. The DGNC inserts have been designed for parting and grooving on stainless steel and high temperature alloys.

            When machining stainless steel or high temperature alloys, the temperature near the cutting edge becomes very high.
            These materials tend to adhere to the cutting edge, causing built-up edge. This phenomenon can be reduced or even eliminated, by efficient cooling of the cutting edge.
            In grooving and parting applications, there is a problem that the chip prevents the coolant from reaching the cutting edge.
            The DGNC inserts represent an ideal solution, as they have a coolant hole through the insert with an outlet near the cutting edge.

            The coolant reaches the cutting edge and the insert body is internally cooled.

          • JET-HP-LINE

          • High Pressure Coolant with Parting Tools
            In grooving and parting operations, applying high pressure coolant provides excellent chip breaking results on all materials.
            On exotic alloys such as Inconel and titanium, it is usually impossible to break the chips with standard external coolant pressure. Applying high coolant pressure resolves this issue successfully.
            On some alloyed and stainless steel, especially when low feeds are applied, high pressure coolant may solve chip breaking problems.
            High pressure coolant reduces or even eliminates built-up edge phenomenon, especially when machining stainless steel and high temperature alloys.

                                • ISCAR's SUMOCHAM drill family is the next evolution of the very successful CHAMDRILL and CHAMDRILLJET families. The family has similar features, with improved head and pocket design, no setup time, fast metal removal and economical indexing. The SUMOCHAM comprises a revolutionary clamping system that enables improved productivity output rates, while enabling more insert indexes. The shank itself is designed with twisted nozzles and exhibits a durable and stably constructed body. The indexable heads are available in four different standard geometries, designed for drilling steel, exotic materials, cast iron or aluminum. The unique pocket design of the SUMOCHAM takes good advantage of the cutting forces, which are mechanically exerted upon the tool. These forces are then converted into gripping forces that are used for tightening the insert towards the back of the pocket - the more cutting forces applied, the better gripping forces obtained. In addition, the clamping forces around the connection area generate little strain, preventing any potential plastic deformation and providing at least triple the amount of head indexes. The most important attribute of the clamping design is therefore a very substantial increase in productivity. All of these features provide the most productive and most profitable solution for the hole making industry.

                                  • High Table Feeds
                                    ISCAR's SUMOGUN line has been developed for deep drilling applications of a diameter range of 12 to 25 mm (total length of 1000 mm).

                                    SUMOGUN enables replacement of the drilling head inside the machine – there is no need to remove the drill for head indexing.
                                    A polyamide plastic key is available for clamping and removing the SUMOGUN head.
                                    The SUMOGUN features two straight flutes carrying the standard SUMOCHAM drilling heads.

                                    The SUMOCHAM drilling heads are fully effective, which enables drilling at much higher table feed rates, when compared to most other gundrills available in the market.

                                  • Single Flute Gundrill
                                    ISCAR's gundrill consists of a single piece carbide head, a streamlined shank and a driver through which coolant flows to the working end where it is most needed. Chips are evacuated along the V-shaped external flute.

                                    1. The Drilling Head
                                    The carbide head is tapered on its length to reduce friction. The taper angle depends on the type of material to be drilled. For high precision drilling, the taper should be reduced to a minimum. Note that when the head is resharpened, the diameter of the drill changes, affecting the hole tolerance.

                                    2. The Shank
                                    The cross-section of the shank is V-shaped with coolant holes. It is made of hardened steel that is highly resistant to twisting. This cross-section provides the optimal conditions for twist resistance, coolant flow and chip evacuation.

                                    3. The Driver
                                    The driver ensures the connection between the gundrill and the machine tool. ISCAR’s advanced gundrill technology provides superior geometric and dimensional quality for both deep and shallow drilling. The drills are available in the range of 2.5 to 32 mm in 0.1 mm increment diameters. Larger diameters, between 32 and 40 mm, are available upon request. In addition, any other drilling head configuration or coated drilling head can be produced upon request.

                                                    The H600 WXCU 070515… insert has an intermediate size between the H600 WXCU 0806… and the H600 WXCU 05T3… inserts. As the most popular tools in the FEEDMILL application market are the 50 mm diameter tools, featuring 1.5 mm depth of cut, the H600 WXCU 070515… insert was designed to provide advantageous performance for this commonly used application.
                                                    The H600 WXCU 070515… insert features a larger radius (1.5 mm) than the H600 WXCU 080612… (1.2 mm) insert. This is most important when machining next to wall shoulders.

                                                    The H600 WXCU 070515… insert enables a tool design featuring a higher tooth density than those carrying the H600 WXCU 0806… insert. For example, the 50 mm diameter tool carries 4 H600 WXCU 0806… inserts, while a tool with the same 50 mm diameter carries 5 H600 WXCU 070515… inserts and thus the new tool can run at higher table feeds. The screw clamping of the H600 WXCU 070515… insert is very secure, providing high durability (reliability) in milling (including ramping down) operations.

                                                      • Efficient full slot milling cutters carrying square inserts with 8 cutting edges
                                                        HELISLOT is a family of full slot milling cutters with square inserts that provide an effective and economical solution for machining slots and grooves. These cutters carry XNMU … inserts with a unique configuration.

                                                        The robust square double-sided insert features 8 (4 right-hand and 4 left-hand) helical cutting edges and a unique twisted upper and bottom surface. The inserts, when clamped on the insert’s staggered teeth formation with alternating axial rakes, contribute to very stable cutting even under high chip loads. The twisted positive rakes create a smooth cutting action.

                                                        Due to the staggered teeth formation, positive rake, and rigid insert clamping the cutters assure high performance, reliability, and productivity.

                                                        The unique XNMU .. inserts are the original concept of double-sided inserts with 4 right-hand and 4 left-hand helical cutting edges for slot milling cutters. These inserts are made of SUMOTEC carbide grades, designed for milling alloy steel, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel, and cast-iron.

                                                      • High Feed Milling refers to milling at very fast feed rates with relatively small depths of cut.
                                                        These high feed rates are possible due to a very small approach angle of the cutting edge, in a way which maintains uniform chip thickness.
                                                        ISCAR has developed a rich variety of High Feed Milling tools and inserts, which cover a wide range of applications.

                                                          • Productivity and Cost-Effectiveness
                                                            NEOFEED, a family of milling cutters carrying indexable square double-sided inserts with 8 cutting edges, provides an advantageous tool for productive and cost-efficient rough machining. The cutters are available in two design configurations that differ in tool cutting edge angles:

                                                            • High feed milling cutters with a 12° cutting edge angle.

                                                            The high feed milling (HFM) cutters are intended for machining with extremely high feed per tooth at shallow depths of cut, while the moderate feed milling cutters are applied when machining up to a twofold depth with lower feed. Moderate feed is less than HFM, but still very common.
                                                          • LOGIQ-4-FEED

The new spindles are for semi-finish and finish machining applications such as milling, drilling and grinding.

                                                                          The system utilizes the machine tool’s existing coolant supply, driven by a high pressure pump (minimum 20 bars) as an energy source to rotate a turbine up to 40,000 RPM.

                                                                          SPINJET is not intended to replace the machine’s spindle, but rather to upgrade the existing machine, providing improved performance, faster machining, better surface quality and extended tool life.
