Iscar Announces A Completely New Family Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength Of Sumo Tec Grades

Iscar currently offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that incorporate the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the increased durability of the revolutionary Sumo Tec insert grades.

The notion, already proven 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 accompanied by a specialized hand tool, and are gripped solidly in place without the need without requiring clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and disrupt chip flow. The pocket design uses cutting forces to keep the insert seated tightly in position, eliminating any chance of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters additional accurate slitting cuts plus longer pocket and insert lifespan.

Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades showcase a special post-coating treatment which considerably improves tool life and dependability.

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

Their superior rigidity leads to straighter, more accurate cuts and lowered 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 accept the exact same selection of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Additional 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, giving outstanding resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is recommended for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys and carbon steel.

IC830, offering increased toughness for heavier parting and grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is appropriate for all stainless steel & high temperature alloys.

IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with outstanding chipping resistance, combined with a brand new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is ideal for nodular or grey cast iron.

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

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

Iscar Recently Releases A Variety Of Original Lines To Enlarge 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 Latest Creations To A Lengthy 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.

Cutting Edge Cutters And Carbide Insert Arrangements From Iscar To Better Maximize 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.

A Few Of The Several 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.

Push Pull Testing For Highway Industry Supplying Calibrated Gauges. Mechanical Load Testing Methods For On Site Proof To Testing Requirements.
Push Pull Testing for the Railway industry for proof of reliable anchor fixings. Calibrated push pull force gauges are used for stress load testing along with tensile strength pull testing procedures. Proof of load testing undertaken, measured, recorded in a reliable and standard way to BS5080 Part 1 standards.

Cutting Edge End Mills Coming 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.
