Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5515100 Turning Insert DCMT32.51FG

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5515100 is a solid carbide turning insert in the DCMT series, designed for precision metal-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to ANSI code DCMT32.51FG TT5100 and ISO code DCMT11T304FG TT5100, this insert carries a TT5100 grade CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN, optimized for steel turning applications. The neutral hand orientation and positive rake geometry support consistent chip flow and reduced cutting forces. With two usable cutting edges per insert, this is a practical choice for production turning where tool economy matters.

This insert is intended for primary use on steel workpieces in production turning environments, including roughing and semi-finishing passes on CNC lathes. The FG chip breaker geometry manages chip formation across a range of feed rates and depths of cut. Maximum depth of cut is 0.079 inches. It is suited for use by machinists and CNC operators running ferrous turning operations in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and production lines requiring repeatable dimensional accuracy.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD-applied TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN multilayer coating for wear resistance on steel
• Diamond insert shape with 55-degree included angle and DCMT style for positive-rake turning
• FG chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation during steel turning
• Two cutting edges per insert for improved tool economy
• Screw-holding method with 7-degree relief angle and neutral hand orientation
• Conforms to ISO standards; ANSI code DCMT32.51FG TT5100

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for toolholders accepting DCMT series inserts with ANSI designation DCMT32.51FG; verify toolholder pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of turning inserts should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators with the machine in a de-energized and locked-out state. Seat the insert firmly in the toolholder pocket and secure with the appropriate clamping screw torqued per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping hardware for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when indexing or replacing inserts.
