Iscar’s new family of Micro3feed indexable tools have been designed to replace solid carbide end mills. Intended for the productive rough milling of compact parts, small-in-size cavities, pockets and more at high feed rates, Micro3feed is applicable in die and moldmaking—such as small, closed forging dies and intricate blow molds that have deep contours—and the manufacture of miniature parts and small components, among other applications.
With a shallow cutting-edge angle and shank stiffness, the Micro3feed platform is able to perform on large L x D ratios—which solid round tools are not typically designed for—a particularly desirable feature when resinking a die after weldment. The platform is also combined with Iscar’s Multi Master connection with a range of shank configurations, lengths and material types for enhanced versatility.
Micro3feed comes in four different grades optimized for ISO P (steel, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel), ISO K (cast iron), ISO S (high-temperature alloys) and ISO H (hardened steel and cast iron).
