Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5101291 Milling Insert SOMT070306SK

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5101291 is a solid carbide milling insert in the SOMT series, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling operations. It carries the IN1030 manufacturer grade and is finished with a TiCN coating applied via PVD process, which provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability. The insert measures 0.268 inches in width and length, with a thickness of 0.114 inches and a corner radius of 0.024 inches. With four cutting edges and a positive rake geometry, this single-sided insert delivers efficient chip formation on demanding workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and tooling specialists install this insert in compatible milling cutter bodies.

This insert is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, covering material application codes P, M, and S. It is designed for use in production and job-shop environments where consistent tool life and surface finish are required across difficult-to-machine alloys. The neutral hand orientation and chamfered cutting edge style make it a reliable choice for general-purpose milling programs running at moderate to aggressive cutting parameters. It is held in the cutter body by screw clamping and is compatible with QR-series cutter bodies.

Key Features

• IN1030 grade solid carbide with PVD TiCN coating for wear and heat resistance
• Four cutting edges per insert for extended tool economy
• Positive rake and chamfered cutting edge style for efficient chip formation
• Square insert shape with 90-degree included angle for versatile milling applications
• Compatible with QR-series milling cutter bodies using screw-clamp holding
• Coarse grain carbide substrate suited for interrupted cuts and high-feed conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use with QR-series milling cutter bodies. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards under code SOMT070306SK IN1030. Verify seat geometry and screw torque specifications against the cutter body documentation before installing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer when seating the clamping screw - do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
