The Expansion of the HELI3MILL 390 LINE with a New Serrated Cutting Edge Insert

Highlights


ISCAR expands its advantageous HELI3MILL 390 LINE by introducing new inserts with serrated edges.
The new inserts, with a radii of .0315” and .1260” designated as HM390 TDCR 1505…FW-P, feature a super positive and sharp serrated cutting-edge geometry with polished rake surfaces which assure highly efficient milling for aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous materials. (ISO N grade of application)
The insert’s cutting-edge geometry splits the chips into small pieces and generates low cutting forces enabling increased feed rates for higher machining productivity.



Features

• A sharp serrated cutting edge with a special chip former;
  - significantly improves chip evacuation
  - reduces cutting load and enables high table feed
  - reduces vibration
  - reduces heat generation
• Suitable for High Speed Machining (HSM)
• Intended for 90° milling cutters
• Peripherally ground insert
• Wide sharp-edged wiper for improved surface finish
• Both rake and relief surfaces are polished

Applications

• Rough to finish machining for ISO N materials
• Milling square shoulders, slots, inclined surfaces and cavities by ramp down including ramping by helical interpolation
• Milling with high tool overhang

Benefits

• Productivity: Assures high metal removal rates
• Economical: 3 helical cutting edges
• Accuracy: milling 90º square shoulders
• High performance when milling at low unstable conditions
• Low power consumption allows applying the cutters on machine tools with limited power, small capacity machining centers and turn-milling machines
• The shredded chips help in a significant reduction of the common built-up phenomena, especially when machining aluminum alloys
• This single-sided triangular insert has three positive and serrated cutting edges intended for milling at .512” depth of cut
• Inserts with a large corner radius produce large chips. A shred feature was added to the .1260” radius.
• The inserts feature a wiper corner edge for high surface finish
• New and easy to assemble as shown in the video
• Light weight inserts for HSM where high metal removal rate (MRR) is required

Cutting recommendations

* ISCAR material group in accordance with VDI 3323 standard
** Euronorm
For machining in unstable conditions, the recommended cutting data should be reduced by 20-30%

Product operation guidelines
In order to provide overlapping and achieve optimal chip shredding, it is recommended to mount the HM390 TDCR 1505… FW-P insert in an alternating edge configuration on adjacent cutter flutes.
