This method enables a noticeable reduction
in power consumption. It is no wonder that
trochoidal milling has been utilized successfully
in manufacturing parts with complicated slots
and grooves, such as blisks (bladed disks), blings
(bladed rings), impellers, etc., especially those with
relatively thin walls.

ISCAR has recently introduced Ti-TURBO – a
family of solid carbide endmills ECK H7/9-CFR
that have a unique cutting geometry with 7 or 9
flutes, different helix and a variable angular pitch.
The main application of the new family is trochoidal
milling workpieces, which are made from difficult-
to-cut titanium grades.

Applying new machining strategies with correctly
chosen milling tools creates new opportunities
for power-saving. Reducing machining power
is one of the necessary conditions of modern
manufacturing. The latest machine tools provide
the metalworking industry with the means
suitable for high performance and energy-efficient
technology. The sustainable cutting tool not only
cuts metal productively but also cuts power
consumption – a major factor in ISCAR’s success. TI-TURBO with unique cutting geometry
