The MULTI-MASTER Advantage
 ISCAR offers oval- and lens- shape endmills in
 diameter ranges of 8 - 16 mm and .312" - .500". In
 addition to their availability in sold carbide design
 configurations, the new barrel endmills have been
 manufactured as exchangeable carbide heads with
 MULTI-MASTER threaded adaptation.

 Additional factors in favor of applying the MULTI-
 MASTER concept to barrel endmills are economic
 feasibility and sustainability.  Due to the complicated
 shape of its cutting edges, a barrel endmill is designed
 as a throwaway tool -  when the wear limit is reached,
 the entire carbide endmill simply becomes waste.  In
 contrast to solid tools, the MULTI-MASTER design
 provides a valuable option for careful and cost-
 effective use of cemented carbide materials. And,
 of course, a rich variety of available MULTI-MASTER
 shanks, reducers and extensions enables optimal
 assembly of a required tool from these elements.
 At present,  barrel milling cutters are not in incredibly
 high demand by the metalworking industry; they
 are intended for very specific parts and effective
 application of such cutters requires highly engineered
 multi-axis machines and, especially important,
 leading-edge CAM systems. However, advanced
 workpiece manufacturing technologies (such as metal
 injection molding, 3D printing, investment casting and
 close-tolerance forging), innovative machine tools,
 and a quantum leap in digitizing of manufacturing
 will increase the needs for finishing complex surfaces
 with minimum machining stock.  In this light, ISCAR's
 specialists estimate that barrel endmill consumption in
 the metalworking industry will increase exponentially,
 and cutting tool manufacturers should be shaping up
 to what is evidently a promising new industrial trend.
