ISCAR Press
 HELIDO490
 
  A New Family of Double-Sided Rectangular Inserts with 4 Helical Cutting Edges
ISCAR is introducing another evolution of the original HELIMILL line:
HELIDO, a new family of tools for 90° milling.
The new HELIDO H490 ANKX 170608PNTR rectangular insert has 4 helical right-hand cutting edges and is very thick and strong. The insert is clamped into an inclined dovetail pocket which provides a very rigid clamping.
The insert has a wiper which leaves an excellent surface finish. The standard corner radius is 0.8 mm.
Due to its strong construction and a unique chip deflector with positive cutting angles and excellent grade combinations, the new family features high durability, low cutting forces and excellent tool life.
The insert can be used for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron at very high machining parameters.
The endmills are available in a diameter range of 32 to 50 mm and face mills in a range of 40 to 160 mm. Each face mill, starting at 50 mm in diameter, is available in both fine and coarse pitch configurations.
The tools can machine 90° shoulders up to 16 mm depth, plunge with up to 10 mm side step, and can perform slotting and facing operations.

The HELIDO family combines the most advantageous features of both the HELIMILL (helical cutting edge and positive rake angle) and the MILL2000 (strong construction), which are the most suitable for heavy milling applications.
The insert with its thick and strong construction, is very economical when taking into account the price per corner, when compared to the single-sided inserts.
