ISCAR?s new Single-Ended Insert for Parting With an Improved Clamping Method

TAG Insert Features
* Very rigid clamping in a tangentially oriented pocket.
* Enables machining at very high feed rates and provides excellent straightness and surface finish.
* Recommended for parting large diameter parts and for * Offers a free, unobstructed chip flow, since there is no upper jaw as in the other clamping systems (very important in deep grooving and parting applications.
* The combination of tangential clamping and free chip flow results in improved tool and insert life time.
* Provides a solution to the problem of inserts being pulled out during retraction.

The TAG inserts are available with the familiar J- and C-Type chipformers, with neutral and angular frontal cutting edges. The new tools are equipped with a user-friendly clamping and extraction device. The TANG-GRIP family includes square shank tools, blades and inserts in 1.4 - 9.5mm widths in the most advanced IC830 and IC808 SUMO TEC grades. The blades are in standard siuzes which fit ISCAR's standard blocks.

Tang-Grip? TAG R/L-J/JS Parting & Grooving Inserts

Guhring Jobber Drills Steam Tempered HSS

Suitable for drilling steel, cast steel, alloyed and unalloyed, grey cast iron, spheroidal iron, sintered powder metal, German silver and graphite. Manufactured to BS328/DIN338RN.

Black Finish (W-Finish)
This is the most common surface finish and is the result of a steam tempering operation in which steam is passed over the product during a controlled tempering cycle, producing a black oxide layer. Black tools are generally recommended for ferrous applications where the oxide layer aids chip flow, helps to dissipate heat by retaining some coolant on the tool surface and also helps to prevent the tool from staining.

Series 205

Starrett Holesaws

Starrett tungsten carbide tipped sheet metal holesaws are ideal for cutting high alloy and stainless steels, non ferrous light metals and reinforced fabrics. The tough tungsten carbide tipped teeth, have a positive cutting angle to provide fast and efficient removal of chips and swarf, cutting depth is 13mm.

Sheet Metal Holesaws Tungsten Carbide Tipped

Starrett tungsten carbide tipped sheet metal hole saws deliver the following advantages:
Ideal for production cutting.
Tungsten carbide tipped teeth provide superb product life and cutting performance.
High cutting accuracy.
Replacement pilot drills are available.
Complete assembly - there is no requirement to purchase a separate arbor and pilot drill.
Safety stop at the base of the hole saw prevents drilling beyond maximum cutting depth.
Cutting depth 13mm (1/2").

Guhring NC Spotting Drills HSS

Special drill for accurate and fast slotting on NC machines, jig drills and other capital-intensive boring machines. For countersinking and chamfering of tapping holes in one operation. N.B. Only suitable for shallow depth drilling. Type N: Guhring standard, overall lengths to DIN1897. 90 Point.

For all dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

Series 557 - 90 Degree

Sherwood Taps

Sherwood HSS Taps are the general purpose option for thread cutting in most materials including steel, some stainless steels, cast irons and non-ferrous materials such as Aluminium, Brass and many others.

Manufactured with precision ground flutes for producing accurate thread forms, Sherwood Taps are available in all the popular thread forms and as straight Flute `Hand` Taps in 3 leads, Fluteless, Spiral Flute, or Spiral Point Machine Taps and also Long Series.

Sherwood Tap dimensions conform to ISO529 apart from NPT Forms which conform to ANSI 94.9. Straight Flute and Fluteless Taps are manufactured with a standard Bright Finish whereas the Machine Taps have an Oxidised Finish for best results dissipating the heat build-up associated with these applications.

Thread Forms are Class 2 medium fit tolerance.

For all technical and dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

Tap Set Metric Coarse Straight Flute Ground Thread HSS

Each set of Sherwood taps contain one taper, second and plug lead tap:

Sherwood HSS Taper Taps are used to start cutting the thread. They are tapered back from the end 6 to 10 threads before a fully threaded diameter is reached. This allows the tap to be positioned easily and correctly before it starts to cut the thread.

The Second Tap is used after the taper tap has cut threads into the hole as far as possible. It tapers back 3 or 4 threads before full thread diameter is reached.

The Plug Tap cuts threads to the bottom of a blind hole. It is only necessary to use the full set of taps when a blind hole is to be tapped.

CNMG Indexable Turning Inserts

T9015 (ISO P10-P20, M10-M20, K10-K20) MT-CVD Coated. New "Double-Bridge" coating technology with increased wear resistance allowing for higher cutting conditions. Universal grade for medium turning of steel at medium speed. TM-Medium operation chipbreaker.

Iscar HELITURN Indexable Inserts

Iscar HELITURN LD Inserts with High Helical Cutting Edge for High Metal Removal Rates. The HELITURN LD inserts WNMX ...-HTW and CNMX ...-HTW are produced from the most advanced SUMO TEC grades. These inserts are designed with very positive radial helical cutting edges and positive rake angles ? a combination which substantially reduces the cutting forces and facilitates higher productivity.

The CNMX and WNMX insert corners are equipped with a wiper configuration which produces high surface finish, even at high feeds.

In many cases the surface finish is sufficient for eliminating a finishing cut.
HELITURN LD inserts were designed for heavy machining applications. Their unique design ensures reliable, Fast Metal Removal.

ISCAR has recently added the HMW chipformer for machining stainless steel, high temperture alloys and soft, low carbon steel.

CNMX and WNMX inserts require special tools with appropriate seats.

WNMX HELITURN Indexable Inserts
