MULTI-MASTER – The right tool for efficient groove milling applications
ISCAR has recently introduced an upgrade to its MM GRIT line of heads designed for groove milling applications. This new product launch includes heads designed with an improved carbide grade (IC908) and a TORX socket which ensures easier, more accurate, clamping of the MULTI-MASTER connection. This can be highly beneficial for fast/accurate head replacements at the machine tool spindle.
The highly versatile MM GRIT line also receives a boost with the introduction of heads made from IC908 (a submicron carbide grade). This long-standing ISCAR grade has proven to increase performance in difficult to machine materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened materials.
