The HELIQUAD Line is Now Upgraded with .500” Inserts

Highlights

HELIQUAD SDMT 12 single-sided inserts with 4 cutting edges feature:

1. New improved cutting geometries.
2. .063” corner radius.
3. New HELISTAR chip former.
4. New QDMT 1205…PDTN-M geometry with IC330 grade.

Additional CVD and PVD coated grades, which emphasize higher durability and flexibility with more tool life for productive milling.

The new and improved geometries feature

• Robust and durable insert design
• A wide wiper for excellent surface finish
• Effective and economical solutions for milling true 90° shoulders

The inserts which are mounted on F90SD tools are produced with SUMO TEC carbide grades and provide excellent performance with longer tool life.

In addition, the inserts are suitable for XQUAD SDK-12-C/HP extended flute cutters with conventional or high-pressure coolant outlets.

HELIQUAD-12 UPGRADE

SDMT 1205PDR-HQ-MM features

• Helical cutting edge for reducing cutting forces.
• The new design is characterized by a reinforced* insert body and cutting edge land with ~.008” compared to the previous ~.005” HELIQUAD insert geometry SDMT 1205…HQ-M design.
• The new SDMT 1205…PDR-HQ-MM will phase out the SDMT 1205…HQ-M with the exception of IC810/910/950/5500 grades.

SDMT 1205...PDR-RM-MM features

• Straight cutting edge intended for tools with a shell mill adaptation and extended flute cutters.
• The new design presents a reinforced* insert body and cutting edge land with ~.008” compared to the previous ~.005” HELIQUAD insert geometry SDMT 1205…RM-M design with superior tool life.
• The new SDMT 1205…RM-MM will phase out SDMT 1205…RM-M with the exception of IC910 grade.
• Available with an additional 1.6mm corner radius and IC808/830 grades.

* The blue marked area presents the added reinforced volume.
Applications

• Rough to semi-finish machining operations
• Reinforced land, intended mainly for milling ISO P materials - carbon and alloy steel, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel and ISO H materials - hardened materials.
• Milling square shoulders, slots, inclined surfaces, and cavities.

The newly upgraded inserts are suitable for right-hand cutting and are available in the following configurations:


HELIQUAD-12 Inserts Upgrade
ISCAR will continue to supply the old inserts until the stock is depleted, and then orders will be switched automatically to their new insert alternative.

HELIQUAD-12 Inserts Phase Out
ISCAR is phasing out the following inserts due to very low consumption and will continue to provide the above inserts until stock is depleted.
Alternatives inserts are available in the system.

Cutting recommendations for the above new and upgraded inserts

• The table below defines initial feed rates.
• For initial cutting speeds refer to ISCAR’s recommendations for carbide grades.

Calculating cutting feed rate
ƒz=ƒz0×Kef×Ks
where
ƒz0 - Basic feed (Table 1),
Kef - Engagement factor ( Table 2),
Ks - Stability factor (Table 3)

Table 1 - Basic feed, ƒz0, mm/tooth
(1) in accordance with VDI3323 standard


Table 2 - Engagement factor Kef
a_e - Width of cut
D - cutting diameter


Table 3 - Stability factor Ks

• The HELIQUAD-12 inserts can be mounted on the XQUAD SDK-12-C/HP extended flute cutters.
• SDMT 1205PDR-HQ-M and SDMT 1205PDN-RM-M type inserts for ISO K materials.

ISCAR’s new HELIQUAD-12 SDMT inserts assure upgraded tool life, while maintaining the same prices!
