Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5522297 Turning Insert Dcgt TT9080

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5522297 is a solid carbide turning insert in the DCGT series, designed for precision external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It carries the TT9080 grade designation and features a physical vapor deposition (PVD) AlTiN and titanium nitride dual coating for extended tool life and heat resistance at the cutting edge. The insert has a 55-degree diamond shape with a positive rake angle, a 0.008 inch corner radius, and a 0.375 inch inscribed circle diameter. Installation uses a screw-holding method, and the neutral hand orientation makes it straightforward to seat in compatible toolholders.

This insert is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes in steel, stainless steel, superalloy, and titanium machining applications. Its SA chip breaker geometry and positive rake promote low cutting forces and clean chip evacuation, which is critical when working high-strength or work-hardening materials. The part is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10, making it appropriate for shop restocking, toolcrib inventory, and production-line tooling programs where consistent geometry and grade are required across multiple setups.

Key Features

• TT9080 carbide grade with PVD AlTiN and titanium nitride coating for thermal and wear resistance
• 55-degree diamond insert shape with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• SA chip breaker geometry optimized for steel, stainless steel, superalloy, and titanium
• 0.008 inch corner radius for fine-finish turning applications
• Screw-held DCGT style with neutral hand for broad toolholder compatibility
• Two cutting edges per insert for extended service before replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a screw-held DCGT-style turning insert compatible with toolholders accepting the DCGT 32.5 insert size. ISO equivalent designation is DCGT11T302SA TT9080.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification - do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert body. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and geometry repeatability.
