Iscar Metals Inc. has expanded its popular HELIDO milling cutter family to optimize facemilling, especially for cast iron. The new HELIDO S865 FSN mill has a 65o lead angle to minimize burr formation and edge breakout, which can complicate cast iron applications. In addition, the HELIDO cutters feature positive axial rake to reduce cutting forces and power consumption at cutting depths up to 8mm. Double-sided HELIDO inserts have eight cutting edges for reduced tool cost per edge. Cutting edges are helical to decrease impact forces at entry and foster a cleaving-type cutting action. A 0.079" flat wiper behind the cutting edge helps impart a finer surface finish. New HELIDO 65o face milling cutters feature direct coolant delivery to each insert. They are available in standard and fine pitch, in sizes covering the diameter range 2.00" to 5.00".

Glossary terms in this article

  • milling cutter
    Loosely, any milling tool. Horizontal cutters take the form of plain milling cutters, plain spiral-tooth cutters, helical cutters, side-milling cutters, staggered-tooth side-millin…
  • facemilling
    Form of milling that produces a flat surface generally at right angles to the rotating axis of a cutter having teeth or inserts both on its periphery and on its end face.
  • axial rake
    On angular tool flutes, the angle between the tooth face and the axial plane through the tool point.
  • lead angle
    Angle between the side-cutting edge and the projected side of the tool shank or holder, which leads the cutting tool into the workpiece.
