ISCAR, a manufacturer of precision carbide metalworking tools, has announced its NEODO family of 90° indexable milling cutters intended for roughing, semi-finishing and shoulder milling — specifically for steel and cast-iron.

According to ISCAR, the versatile cutters mount cost-effective square double-sided inserts with 8 cutting edges.

This solution reportedly enables face and shoulder milling, while offering an additional option for milling close to shoulders where there are workpiece or work holding fixture constraints.

Other features of the NEODO family of milling cutters:

• 90° cutting edge angle.
• Rigid insert clamping due to the dovetail profile of the insert pocket.
• Strong and durable inserts with eight helical cutting edges.
• A specially shaped insert rake face for smooth cutting action, reducing cutting forces and power consumption during machining.
• A wide insert wiper flat for improving surface finish.
• Higher tooth density for improved productivity.
• Coarse and fine pitch configurations of the cutters.
