SOLIDTHREAD – Solid Carbide Endmills
ISCAR offers a line of solid carbide endmills for thread milling operations. These tools, with diameters from THREAD MILLING
0.72 mm to 20 mm by metric system or from 0.045 inch to 0.75 inch by imperial and United States customary
systems and varied in form, are intended for machining all types of materials such as: steel, stainless steel,
cast iron, etc. The tools differ in cutting geometry, helix angle, number of flutes, length and grades.
ISCAR catalogs and leaflets contain detailed guidelines for using the solid carbide endmills in thread milling.
Commonly, tool selection and cutting data depend on application requirements and workpiece material.
Cutting tool manufacturers, from small shops to world-known companies, produce solid carbide endmills of the same sizes
that often seem like copies of each other. However, despite a formal resemblance, there is a great difference in performance
and tool life of the cutters. The reason lies in carbide grades, grinding technology and cutting geometry features.
