Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5517748 Turning Insert CNGG432ML

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5517748 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision material removal on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to ANSI code CNGG432ML K10 and ISO code CNGG120408ML K10, this uncoated insert features an 80-degree diamond shape, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, and a 0.031-inch corner radius. With four cutting edges and a negative rake geometry, it delivers consistent edge life in demanding turning applications. The K10 carbide grade and ML chip breaker geometry make it well suited for controlled chip formation at moderate cutting parameters.

This insert is intended for turning operations on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super-alloys including titanium. It fits CNGG-style toolholders using a clamp holding method. Typical users are machinists and CNC operators working in production or job shop environments where dimensional consistency and insert repeatability are required. The neutral hand orientation allows use in both left-hand and right-hand toolholder configurations when paired with the appropriate CNGG pocket style.

Key Features

• Solid carbide K10 grade with no coating for direct application to cast iron and non-ferrous workpieces
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with negative rake for strong cutting edge geometry
• ML chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation at light-to-medium depths of cut
• Four usable cutting edges per insert to maximize tool cost efficiency
• 0.031-inch corner radius balances surface finish quality with edge strength
• Maximum depth of cut up to 0.138 inches per pass
• Meets ISO standards; ANSI code CNGG432ML K10, ISO code CNGG120408ML K10

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNGG-style clamp-type toolholders with a size 432 insert pocket. Compatible with primary workpiece materials classified as cast iron (K), non-ferrous metals (N), and super-alloys and titanium (S) per ISO material group coding.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician with the machine in a fully powered-down and locked-out state before any tooling changes. Ensure the insert pocket and clamp are clean and free of debris before seating the insert to maintain proper indexing and prevent premature edge failure. Torque the clamp screw per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify insert orientation and hand before resuming cutting operations.
