Iscar right now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that merge the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the new Sumo Tec insert grades.

The concept, already proven effective 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 specific hand tool, and are clutched firmly in place without the need for clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and impede chip flow. The pocket design utilizes cutting forces to keep the insert seated firmly in position, preventing any prospect of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters more accurate slitting cuts plus longer pocket and insert life.

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

Unveiled in late 2007, the brand new Sumo Tec treatment smooths the insert's coated surface to eliminate microscopic stress raisers, reduce heat and friction and improve chip flow. The result is enhanced toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to greater tool lifespan. The golden-colored side on Sumo Tec inserts facilitates wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters offer more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, enabling higher feed rates.

Their greater 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 accommodate the exact same assortment of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Some other sizes will be added.

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

IC830, providing additional toughness for heavier parting & grooving including interrupted cuts. It is fitting for all stainless steel and high temperature alloys.

IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with excellent chipping resistance, combined with a brand 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 likewise recommended for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.

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

Iscar Adds Their Latest Innovations To A Extended Line Of Outstanding Hole Making 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.

New End Mills Coming From Iscar Can Enhance Productivity While Reducing 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.

A Couple Of The Several Improvements In Carbide Inserts Coming From Iscar Over The Years
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.

Cutting Edge Tools And Carbide Insert Compositions From Iscar To Better 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.

Push Pull Testing For Building Industry Supplying Calibrated Gauges. Mechanical Load Testing Methods For On Site Documentation To Testing Standards.
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.

A Number Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts Provided By Iscar Over The Last 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.
