Iscar’s Chatterfree ECK-H7/9-CFR end-mills suit titanium

Specifically designed for high speed titanium machining applications, including finishing operations, Iscar’s Chatterfree ECK-H7/9-CFR solid carbide end-mill family is available in seven- and nine-flute variants, as well as different helix and variable pitch configurations.

The cutters are available in a diameter range from 6 to 20 mm, with each tool diameter supplied with either cylindrical or Weldon shanks.

Offered with an assortment of corner radii, the Chatterfree ECK-H7/9-CFR is said to feature optimised edge preparation that prevents chipping on cutting edges and corners, rendering it suitable for the stable machining of titanium. Designed to provide efficient chatter dampening, the range’s flute and tooth geometry deliver high metal removal rates, Iscar claims.

The end-mills are made from PVD-coated grade IC900, which is said to offer longer tool life when machining titanium.
