Ensuring high levels of productivity

In regard to solid carbide end mills, Iscar has introduced cutting-edge upgrades, such as advanced flute geometries, the use of superior substrates and the application of highly developed coatings, which have enabled end mill technology to keep pace with advancements in machine tools, the company says. The application of innovative tool geometries provides soft cuts for increased tool life and ensures high levels of productivity. In addition, Iscar's premium carbide grades and advanced coatings are said to allow users to optimise each application.

The best of both worlds

New grades for solid carbide end mills include the IC608 for hardened steel (45-60HRC) at moderate to high cutting speeds or alloy steels at moderate to high cutting speeds. Moreover, the grade is said to feature a hard PVD coating that provides substantially improved tool life and reliability.
