was launched several years ago, it has been
continuously updated and upgraded.
The key element of this family is the H600
WXCU Trigon double-sided insert with 6 cutting
edges - an ISCAR patented design. The cutting
edge of the insert comprises two sections: the
main (external) and the minor (internal) cutting
edges. While the main edge produces 17°
cutting edge angle, the minor edge plays an
important role in ramping down and makes
a significant contribution to improving the
performance of the tool.

The carefully designed rake face of the insert,
in which the portion adjacent to the main edge
is convex; and the portion adjoining the minor
edge is concave, ensures effective chip formation
and directs chip flow away from the cutter. This
arrangement drastically reduces re-cutting and
considerably increases tool life when the cutter
mills deep cavities and pockets.

The adjacent portions of the side surface of the
insert have opposite inclinations. This provides
the necessary relief for the right cutting edge and
ensures the insert’s rigid clamping in a dovetail-
shape pocket. The illustrated beneficial design
features of the HELIDO 600 UPFEED LINE
ensure great efficiency in FF milling for a wide-
spectrum of applications: machining planes,
3-D surfaces, slots and cavities and explains
the continuing popularity of the family.
