Insert evolution continues to take shape

The introduction of the ISCAR HELIMILL in the 1990s marked a significant milestone for milling tools. It revolutionised the design of milling tools with indexable inserts, establishing a new approach that would shape the industry for years to come. This breakthrough was achieved using a parallelogram-shaped carbide insert, featuring a helical cutting edge formed by the intersection of the insert’s helical side and shaped top surfaces. The HELIMILL concept offers several advantages. Firstly, the consistency of the rake and relief angles along the insert cutting edge when mounted on a tool reduces cutting force variations and ensures a smooth cutting
