Overview

ISO 6262-1:2013 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the dimensions of end mills with indexable inserts and flatted cylindrical shanks. This standard is part one of the ISO 6262 series and focuses specifically on end mills featuring a flatted parallel shank design, in accordance with ISO 3338-2.

End mills with indexable inserts are essential cutting tools widely used in precision milling operations in the manufacturing and metalworking industries. These cutting tools enable efficient machining with the ability to replace inserts, thereby reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.

The standard provides consistent and clear dimensional parameters to facilitate compatibility across manufacturers and users, maintaining interchangeability and optimizing tool performance.

Key Topics

• Scope: Defines dimensional characteristics for end mills with indexable inserts and flatted cylindrical shanks.
• Shank Dimensions: Conforms to ISO 3338-2, detailing the specifications of the flatted parallel shank to ensure secure tool holding and alignment.
• Cutting Edge Angle: The nominal cutting edge angle for the insert is standardized at 90°, although the actual effective angle during use depends on cutter geometry and operating conditions.
• Dimensional Table: Specifies precise measurements including cutting diameter, connection diameter, head length, and overall length for various cutter sizes ranging from 16 mm to 50 mm diameter.
• Relationship with ISO 13399: Annex A maps the designations in ISO 6262-1 to the preferred symbols used in ISO 13399, which covers cutting tool data representation and exchange - facilitating digital integration and industry communication.

Applications

ISO 6262-1:2013 is critical for manufacturers, distributors, and users of milling cutters who require standardized tooling components. Key applications include:

• Precision Machining: Ensures dimensional uniformity in end mills, which is vital for producing high-quality machined components in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing.
• Tool Interchangeability: Manufacturers can produce cutting tools with flatted cylindrical shanks that fit various holders and machines without custom adaptations.
• Inventory and Supply Chain Efficiency: Standardized dimensions reduce complexity and errors in procurement, inventory management, and tool replacement.
• Cutting Tool Data Management: Compatibility with ISO 13399 enables accurate digital tool descriptions for CAM software and tool management systems.

Related Standards

• ISO 3338-2: Defines the dimensional characteristics of flatted cylindrical shanks for milling cutters, which is referenced directly in ISO 6262-1.
• ISO 13399 Series: Covers cutting tool data representation and exchange, enabling seamless integration of tooling specifications in digital manufacturing environments.
• ISO 6262-2: The second part of the ISO 6262 series, which specifies end mills with indexable inserts and Morse taper shanks.

Keywords

End mills, indexable inserts, flatted cylindrical shank, ISO 6262-1, milling cutters, cutting tool dimensions, ISO standards, ISO 3338-2, ISO 13399, tool interchangeability, precision machining, manufacturing standards.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives
