Matching Geometry to Operation
ISCAR has implemented modelling
practices that allow R&D
engineers to determine which
insert geometry is appropriate
for which operation, even at the
design stage. When designing
the CNMG 120404-F3P turning
insert, for example, it was found
that simulating cutting action was
useful for shaping the insert’s
top surface.

Drilling hard-to-cut austenitic and duplex
stainless steel presents difficulties,
especially if the depth of a hole is
substantial. To improve performance in
these types of drilling operations, ISCAR
developed ICG exchangeable carbide
heads with chip splitting geometry. The
head diameter range is 14-25.9 mm
(0.551-1.02 in) and the heads are
mounted in standard SUMOCHAM drill
bodies to provide high-quality holes with
depth up to 12×D.
