Overview

ISO 2587:1972 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the precise dimensions for side and face milling cutters with plain bore and key drive in metric series. These milling cutters are designed to fit on cutter arbors and are used primarily in machining processes involving the milling of materials. This standard covers cutters with straight-sided teeth and those with double helical (staggered) teeth, ensuring consistency and interchangeability in manufacturing and industrial applications. The range of outside diameters for these cutters aligns with the recommendations set out in ISO 523.

Key Topics

• Dimensional Specifications: Defines the exact size parameters of the cutters, including outside diameter, bore, and keyway sizes, facilitating compatibility with cutter arbors.
• Tooth Types: Applies to cutters featuring both straight teeth and double alternate helix teeth, expanding versatility for different milling needs.
• Metric Series Focus: All dimensions and tolerances are standardized according to the metric system, supporting global consistency.
• Compliance with ISO/R 240: The standard references ISO/R 240 for bore and keyway dimensions to maintain interchangeability across milling cutter components.
• Applications in Tooling: Primarily intended for use in metalworking and precision machining industries that rely on milling operations.

Applications

ISO 2587:1972 is essential in various industrial and manufacturing settings, particularly those involving precision milling tasks:

• Metalworking Shops: Enables the selection of milling cutters with guaranteed dimensional accuracy, improving tool fit and machining quality.
• Cutter Arbor Manufacturing: Helps ensure that cutter arbor designs can accommodate cutters with standardized bores and key drives.
• Automotive and Aerospace Industries: Supports the machining of high-precision components by providing cutters conforming to exact specifications.
• Tool & Die Making: Offers reliable cutter options necessary for producing detailed dies and molds requiring exact cuts.
• Mechanical Engineering: Facilitates maintenance of machinery involved in milling by providing standardized cutter choices.

By adhering to ISO 2587, manufacturers and end-users achieve enhanced compatibility between cutters and arbors, reducing downtime and tool replacement costs.

Related Standards

To fully leverage the benefits of ISO 2587, it is important to consider it alongside related ISO standards:

• ISO 523 - Recommended range of outside diameters for milling cutters: Defines the overall sizing range integrated into ISO 2587’s dimensional specifications.
• ISO/R 240 - Interchangeability dimensions for milling cutters and cutter arbors or cutter mandrels (Metric and Inch Series): Dictates bore and keyway dimensions ensuring compatibility across different tooling components.
• ISO 8688 series - Milling cutters with indexable inserts: Complements ISO 2587 by focusing on a different category of milling tools used in modern machining practices.
• ISO 26623 - Milling tool holders: Relevant for selection and standardization of tooling setups involving milling cutters.

Conclusion

ISO 2587:1972 provides crucial guidelines for the design and manufacturing of side and face milling cutters with plain bore and key drive in metric sizes. By standardizing dimensions for cutters with both straight and double helical teeth, this standard promotes interchangeability, efficiency, and safety in milling operations. Industries relying on precise milling tooling benefit from its adoption through minimized errors, streamlined inventory management, and enhanced product quality. For manufacturers and users in machining, adherence to ISO 2587 ensures reliable tool performance and service life.

FOREWORD
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards institutes (IS0 Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through IS0 Technical Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated
to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the IS0 Council.
International Standard IS0 2587 was drawn up by Technical Committee
