Logical Extension
everal years ago, ISCAR launched a unique and
innovative LOGIQ product line – a campaign that
Sbrought new families of cutting tools to the world
market. These families were designed to address challenges in
metalworking industries, from increasing productivity to finding
cost-effective indexable alternatives to small-in-diameter solid
carbide tools.
Today, ISCAR introduces NEOLOGIQ, a logical extension
to the previous campaign comprising of an entire range of
advanced products and technological solutions for metal
cutting tools - a quantum leap in the field. Anti-vibration boring bars WHISPERLINE enable stable
cutting with the overhang up to fourteen diameters.

Digitized manufacturing, which is dictated by INDUSTRY 4.0
momentum, has its own demand and expects a new level of a
cutting tool “intellect” to be suitable for smart manufacturing.
In preparing for the upcoming changes, ISCAR considers
NEOLOGIQ as the next logical step to the cutting tool for the
smart factory. ‘Machining with no Boundaries’ is the motto of
ISCAR’s NEOLOGIQ products.
How do we overstep the customary boundaries of metal
cutting? A short overview of some of the new products will
help you understand how this is viewed by ISCAR.
Logical Milling
High feed milling (HFM), also referred to as fast feed milling,
is considered a commonly used effective method for rough
machining both complex and plane surfaces. ISCAR has
an extremely wide range of HFM products to meet the
requirements of a customer. However, even in this niche of
products, there is place for new innovations.
LOGIQ4FEED, a family of high feed milling cutters carrying
NEOFEED high feed milling cutter carries cost-effective specific bone-shaped inserts, was enriched by new tools with
inserts with 8 cutting edges. greater insert sizes. These new tools have several features
34 MACHINE TOOLS WORLD MAY 2023 www.mtwmag.com
TECH INNOVATION
that substantially improve performance in high feed milling,
especially when machining big cavities and pockets in steel
parts.
Another HFM product that provides the customer with
a reasonable cost saving solution is NEOFEED, a family of
mills with square, double-sided inserts. This insert has 8
indexable cutting edges to use on cemented carbide and a
dovetail-shaped insert pocket that ensures reliable mounting
to withstand heavy loads to enable higher cutting data and
increased productivity.
The progress in 5-axis machining and CAD/CAM systems
opens new horizons for machining 3D surfaces using barrel-
shaped endmills. Although such endmills are still not common
in the metalworking industry, advanced accurate metal
shaping methods will dramatically increase the demand for
these barrel-shaped endmills. Therefore, the development of
effective “cutting barrels” is one of ISCAR’s highest priorities.
In the NEOLOGIQ product range, the barrel-shaped endmills
are represented by two configurations: a solid carbide design
and a MULTI-MASTER head. Combining MULTI-MASTER
advantages with the precise barrel profile of a cutting-edge
will result in a cost-effective and sustainable solution for Helical flutes with variable helix angle in a LOGIQCAM drill

of its product range by introducing a new threaded connection
size, T21, which enables increasing the nominal diameter of an Intelligent Turning
In internal turning, a boring bar is the main factor of tool
rigidity. A large bar overhang to diameter ratio leads to the
tool deflection and vibrations; and is the bane of machining
accuracy and surface finish. WHISPERLINE, a family of
anti-vibration boring bars, was developed to exceed the ratio
bounds. These bars have a specially designed built-in absorber
and a vibration-dampening mechanism that enables stable
cutting with an overhang of up to 14 diameters.
WHISPERLINE bars are important elements of the new
versatile modular system NEOMODU, providing a rich variety
of assembly options for turning tools. A combination of
different system units such as shanks, anti-vibration capsules,
and interchangeable heads with indexable carbide inserts
result in a tool assembly, which is maximally customized to a
specific application. The shanks may be cylindrical, square, or
with a polygon taper interface in accordance with ISO 26623
standard.
Speaking of new turning products, one cannot pass the

against DNMG. The advantages of the new
insert are visible in efficient multi-directional
turning applications. The cartridges carrying
insert XNMG, which are intended for
mounting on NEOMODU units, are available
as well.
Competent Parting
ISCAR began its leadership with just
parting tools. That is why every company’s
innovation in parting gains special interest.
Adapters and holders occupy a prominent
place among ISCAR’s NEOLOGIQ parting
products. The concept of the LOGIQFGRIP
family is based on a 4-pocket adapter that
