ISCAR HELIDO H490

Product system overview

ISCAR HELIDO H490 is a 90-degree milling platform using double-sided inserts with four helical cutting edges. Cutter branch, insert size, body diameter, cutting length, pitch, insert designation, geometry, grade, screw, torque, and coolant arrangement control the usable assembly.

Industries and applications

• Roughing and semi-finishing 90-degree shoulders, slots, and high edges.
• Extended-flute shoulder milling where the selected H490 ANK or SM body and insert size are listed together.
• Steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and difficult-to-cut materials using the current material-specific insert geometry and grade.

Technical and quote details

• ISCAR offers H490 insert-size branches 09, 12, and 17 mm with different cutter diameter ranges.
• The official family page describes double-sided inserts with four helical cutting edges, positive cutting angles, coolant nozzles, and coarse- and fine-pitch cutter choices.
• Diameter coverage varies by insert-size branch; body and insert size must not be collapsed into one family-level range.
• Extended-flute H490 ANK and SM cutters are identified separately from face and end-mill body branches.
• Official material guidance lists multiple grades, but grade selection remains tied to work material, geometry, cutter, and cutting conditions.
• Compatibility, lineage, or lifecycle crosswalk: body-to-insert to HELIDO H490 ANCX or ANKX insert for the exact H490 body and 09, 12, or 17 mm pocket (conditional). Match H490 body code, pocket size, cutter branch, pitch, diameter, hand, insert designation, geometry, grade, corner, screw, torque, coolant, and current catalog revision.

Selection notes

Create a full-designation body-to-insert relation containing H490 size, body code, pitch, diameter, cutting length, insert code, geometry, grade, screw, torque, and source revision.

Keep extended-flute and conventional body branches distinct even when they use the same H490 insert-size family.

Variables to validate

• HELIDO H490 branding does not make 09, 12, and 17 mm bodies or inserts interchangeable.
• Diameter alone does not establish body branch, pocket, pitch, insert geometry, grade, corner, screw, torque, maximum depth, or coolant compatibility.
• Use the exact current cutter and insert records before quoting or substituting an assembly.
