MILLSHRED is a unique new family of milling cutters that can carry either round inserts with a serrated cutting edge or regular round inserts. Both inserts have a protruding cylinder on the bottom. The serrated insert has four indexing orientation options and the round insert has eight. When very deep cavities are machined, chip evacuation (even with air blow) is very problematic due to chip shape, weight and size.
When using MILLSHRED, small chips are produced, which have fewer tendencies to be re-cut.

The serrations on the insert’s cutting edge were designed to overlap, providing a fully effective cutter configuration.
Large cavity depths with long tool overhang may cause vibration and instability.

The MILLSHRED cutters, like most of ISCAR’s new tools, are
HARD TOUCH coated for improved durability and a
high-tech appearance.

Now with MILLSHRED you can achieve:
• Excellent tool stability.
• Chips split into small pieces.
• Optimal chip flow with easy evacuation, even from deep cavities.
• High tooth load capability, up to 8 mm depth-of-cut, which will
significantly reduce machining time.
• Small cutting forces - therefore the required machining power is low.
• 4 indexing options when using the MILLSHRED insert and 8
when using the round one.
