Iscar Offers A Brand New Line Of Slitting Cutters Using Tang-Grip Technology And The Sturdiness Of Sumo Tec Grades

Iscar at this time offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that join the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the increased sturdiness of the brand new Sumo Tec insert grades.

The conception, already validated successful in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets with a distinct hand tool, and are gripped tightly in place without having the need for clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and obstruct chip flow. The pocket composition uses cutting forces to keep the insert seated securely in position, preventing any chance of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters additional accurate slitting cuts plus increased pocket and insert life.

Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades showcase a distinct post-coating treatment which substantially improves tool life and reliability.

Unveiled in late '07, the revolutionary Sumo Tec treatment smooths the insert's coated surface to eradicate microscopic stress raisers, diminish heat and friction and boost chip flow. The result is improved toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to longer tool lifespan. The golden-colored flank on Sumo Tec inserts eases wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters offer more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, allowing higher feed rates.

Their increased rigidity leads to straighter, better accurate cuts and diminished vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The new Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accommodate the exact same assortment of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Several other sizes will be added.

Obtainable Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate beneath a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, delivering exceptional resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is suggested for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys and carbon steel.

IC830, offering extra toughness for heavier parting & grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is suited for any stainless steel and high temperature alloys.

IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with superior chipping resistance, mixed with a new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is ideal for nodular or gray cast iron.

IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades suited for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are additionally favored for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.

Each Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are presented in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.

Iscar Adds Their Most Recent Creations To A Long Line Of Prospering Hole Generating 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.

Iscar Recently Made Public Many 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.

Original Cutters And Carbide Insert Shapes From Iscar To Better Enhance The Machining Process
Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts with a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity with a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a different frontal edge.

Many Developments Have Expanded Iscar's Line Of Indexable Endmills For Expanded 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.

Some Of Advancements In Carbide Inserts Provided By Iscar Over The Past Decade
Iscar is announcing a brand new unique milling system that includes tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has meaningful advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in better performance.

Completely New End Mills From Iscar Can Boost Productivity While Lowering 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.
