A cutter comprises a shank and an interchangeable solid-carbide head, mounted on the shank with the use of a specially designed SP-connection. The connection ensures a very durable assembly that withstands considerable cutting forces during slot milling, even in cases when a tool works with high overhang. The heads of the same diameter vary in their width. The cutting geometry of the heads is intended for efficient slot milling of different engineering materials.

Iscar Tools Inc. has released replaceable solid-carbide heads for its T-GEAR SD D32-M…-SP15 family, which are mounted in standard T-SLOT SD-SP15 cylindrical shanks. This transforms the latter into a 32-mm-dia. gear milling cutter.

The H-Carb Seven Flute High Efficiency Endmill specializes in deep axial trochoidal and high-speed machining applications. Offered at various lengths of cut, the 7 flute design creates a superior finish to conventional 5 or 6 flute tools.

T-SLOT, a family of modular milling cutters SD-SP…, was originally developed for milling relatively narrow slots and grooves.

Both types of milling cutters (those with indexable inserts and those with replaceable heads) meet the requirements of standard DIN 3972, basic profile II.
