In addition to grade IC6025, ISCAR is offering an innovative chipformer under the designation of M3M.
The new chipformer was designed especially for machining stainless steel.
The M3M chipformer was designed with geometric features that improve the tool’s life due to a reinforced cutting edge at the area where VG (notch wear) wear tends to occur when machining stainless steel, causing poor surface finish and risk of edge breakage.




Additional geometric elements such as optimal positive rake angle feature a smooth cutting process and reduced cutting forces (by 5 to 10%), thus reducing the wear and dramatically increasing tool life.

The M3M has a wide chipbreaking range, making it the first choice in most stainless steel applications.




The combination of the new advanced SUMO TEC grades IC6015 and IC6025, together with the unique and innovative M3M chipformer, ensures higher productivity over any other insert existing in the market for machining stainless steel.

The M3M chip breaker has a positive rake angle to allow a smooth cutting and reduce the cutting forces by 5% to 10%, thus reducing the wear and increasing the tool life dramatically. The machining area is depth of cut from 1 mm up to 5 mm and feed from 0.15 up to 0.6.

The M3M has a wide chip breaking area as shown here, making it the first choice in most of stainless steel applications.
The combination of a new and advanced Sumo-Tec grade together with the unique and innovative chip breaker’s geometry enables you to achieve higher productivity than any other insert existing today, when machining stainless steel.
