ISCAR recently expanded the application range of barrel-shaped endmills with new radial segment sizes. A broad range of "Barrel-Shaped" tools is now available including oval-profile barrel endmills intended for advanced semi-finish and finishing operations of 3D surface applications. The barrel endmills designed with a cutting as a segment of a large-diameter arc, reduce the number of passes and cusp height compared to conventional ball-nose mills and therefore ensure shorter cycle times and superb surface finish. Barrel endmills are ideal for advanced 3D profile milling, especially on 5-axis simultaneous machining operations for parts such as turbine blades, orthopedic implants, molds, impellers and blisks. ISCAR broadens its application range of the oval barrel line with 4 new endmills made of ultra-fine carbide grain IC902, PVD coated with high resistance to abrasive wear. This grade is suitable for machining diverse materials including hardened steel and heat resistant steel.
