Iscar tech talk - iscar expands mill-4-feed fast feed milling tools

The remarkable progress made in the area of rough milling over the past decades saw the introduction of fast feed milling (FF), also referred to as high feed milling (HFM). Rather than use the traditional high metal removal technique – milling with considerable depths and widths of cut – users of the new approach continued to machine with similar width of cuts, although they used a much smaller depth of cut and applied much faster speeds with substantially increased feed per tooth. High feed milling enables much faster machining than conventional methods. Energy saving shallow-cut “fast” technology provides an excellent alternative to power consuming deep-cut methods. ISCAR's new FFQ4 SOMW... insert features advanced capabilities for increased milling productivity in machining materials up to 60HRC which takes fast feed milling a giant step further. • A flat chipformer is available for insert sizes 09,12,17. • 4 indexable reinforced cutting edges. • Increased corner radius for improved performance in near-to-wall machining while maintaining the same tool diameter. • Produced from ISCAR’s advanced SUMOTEC carbide grade for unsurpassed productivity. • The advanced geometrical design combined with innovative carbide grades results in significantly improved resistance to edge breakage and chipping, which guarantees better tool life and enables highly productive fast feed milling, especially when cutting hard materials and when machining non-continuous surfaces which results in interrupted cutting.
