Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5512887 Carbide Turning Insert K10

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5512887 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Manufactured to ANSI code CCGT21.51FLK10 and ISO code CCGT060204FL K10, this insert features an 80-degree diamond shape, a 7-degree relief angle, and a positive rake geometry. The K10 uncoated carbide grade delivers sharp, consistent cutting edges suited for finishing and light roughing passes. With a 1/64-inch corner radius and an FL chip breaker, it produces controlled chip flow and clean surface finishes. Installation is via screw-holding method, and the neutral hand orientation allows use in a range of toolholder configurations. It ships individually as a single insert.

This insert is intended for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super-alloys including titanium. It is well-suited for finishing operations where tight tolerances and fine surface finish are required. The uncoated K10 grade is the standard choice for non-ferrous and titanium applications where coating adhesion or edge buildup is a concern. Machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop environments will find this insert effective for light-to-medium depth cuts where edge sharpness and low cutting forces matter. The FL chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation in these materials.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style CCGT-series turning insert compatible with screw-clamp toolholders accepting a CCGT21.51 insert size. Suitable for toolholders designed to the CCGT insert standard per ISO specification.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or CNC operator using the appropriate screw-clamp toolholder for CCGT-series inserts. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edges. Verify insert seating and screw torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before resuming cutting operations.
