What are Iscar shoulder milling tools used for?

ISCAR shoulder milling tools are designed for machining operations that produce vertical walls (shoulders) alongside flat surfaces, including slotting, contouring, and creating precise 90° angles in workpieces.

What types of shoulder milling tools does Iscar offer?

ISCAR offers indexable end mills, face mills, solid carbide end mills, and helical cutters. Each is engineered for specific performance needs, from heavy roughing to high precision finishing.

In which industries are Iscar shoulder milling tools commonly used?

These tools see wide use in aerospace, automotive, mold and die making, general machining, and precision manufacturing due to their accuracy, durability, and versatility.

How do ISCAR's insert systems improve milling performance?

ISCAR uses replaceable carbide inserts such as HELI2000 and TANGSHRED, available in multiple grades and geometries to match different materials. This allows efficient cutting, reduced downtime, and cost effective tool maintenance.

What features enhance the performance of Iscar shoulder milling cutters?

Performance boosters include high precision shank interfaces (CAT, BT, HSK), internal coolant channels for better chip evacuation, advanced coatings for wear resistance, and vibration reducing designs like CHATTERFREE.
