Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5512909 Ccgt Turning Insert K10

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5512909 is a CCGT-style indexable turning insert designed for precision metal removal on lathes and turning centers. Built from solid carbide with an uncoated K10 grade finish, this insert delivers consistent performance in finishing and semi-finishing operations. The diamond-shaped insert body (80-degree included angle) paired with a 7-degree relief angle and a 0.016 inch corner radius makes it well suited for tight-tolerance work. It uses a screw-clamping hold method and carries a positive rake geometry, which reduces cutting forces and heat generation during use. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers.

This insert is intended for turning operations on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super-alloys including titanium. The FL chip breaker geometry is optimized for light finishing cuts with controlled chip evacuation. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.1945 inches and an inscribed circle of 0.375 inches, it fits standard CCGT toolholders commonly used in production and job-shop turning environments. The neutral hand orientation allows use on both OD and facing operations depending on toolholder configuration.

Key Features

• CCGT insert style with 80-degree diamond shape and 7-degree relief angle for positive-rake finishing cuts
• Solid carbide K10 grade, uncoated - well matched to cast iron, non-ferrous, and titanium workpiece materials
• FL chip breaker geometry for controlled chip flow during light finishing passes
• Screw-mount clamping system for secure, repeatable insert indexing
• 0.016 inch corner radius for fine surface finish requirements
• Neutral hand insert - compatible with standard CCGT screw-clamp toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for standard CCGT screw-clamp turning toolholders accepting a 3/8 inch inscribed circle insert. ANSI code CCGT32.51FLK10; ISO code CCGT09T304FL K10.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator with the spindle fully stopped and the machine placed in a locked-out, zero-energy state before any insert change. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to toolholder manufacturer specifications - do not overtighten. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating the insert. Confirm insert index position and torque before resuming cutting operations.
