Hertel 1001153 Turning Insert WCMT2151LF HC210 Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 1001153 is a WCMT-style solid carbide turning insert with a TiN coating applied via PVD process, designed for use in screw-on toolholders in metal cutting lathe operations. The insert features an 80-degree trigon shape, a 1/4 inch inscribed circle, a 1/64 inch corner radius, and a positive rake geometry with a 7-degree relief angle. The HC210 manufacturer grade and TiN coating make this insert suitable for machining stainless steel, non-ferrous materials, and high-temperature alloys. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units and is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians.

This insert is suited for external turning and light profiling operations on CNC and manual lathes. Primary workpiece materials include stainless steel, non-ferrous materials, and high-temperature alloys. Secondary application covers cast iron. The neutral hand designation means it is not biased toward right-hand or left-hand cutting, allowing flexible setup in standard WCMT-compatible toolholders. The T-style chip breaker supports controlled chip evacuation in medium to light finishing passes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with HC210 grade for wear resistance in demanding materials
• TiN coating applied via PVD process for improved surface hardness and tool life
• 80-degree trigon insert shape with 7-degree clearance angle for positive cutting geometry
• 1/64 inch corner radius supports light finishing cuts with reduced edge stress
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm) for controlled material removal
• Screw-on holding method provides secure, repeatable indexing in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in WCMT-style screw-on toolholders that accept a 1/4 inch inscribed circle insert with a 0.1102 inch hole diameter. Compatible with Material Grades C2 and C4 applications. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys; secondary workpiece material is cast iron.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by machinists using the appropriate WCMT screw-on toolholder and insert clamping screw. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use a torx or hex key sized for the clamping screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for damage before seating a new insert to ensure proper clamping force and runout.
