A major expansion of the ISCAR HELIDO 845-13 mill family brings the efficiency and economy of these popular tools to a wider size and application range. Key additions to the cutter line include extra-fine pitch cutters in the diameter range 2.0" to 5.0" and coarse-pitch models with coolant ports serving every pocket. New HP and PL inserts are optimized to better handle austenitic cast iron, high temperature alloys and stainless steels. Also added is a wiper insert to improve finish using fine-pitch cutters of 5" and larger.

ISCAR's versatile HELIDO 845-13 milling tool family offers very high productivity with the economy of double-sided inserts with 16 or 8 edges, depending on size. Inserts are positive rake to reduce machining forces, and feature helical cutting edges to create a gentler entry and exit. They all boast the SUMO-TEC post coating treatment which, in a host of applications from hogging out dies and molds to machining huge turbomachinery parts, has improved performance by 35 percent on the average.
