Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523027 Turning Insert CCMT32.50.5

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523027 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCMT series, designed for precision finishing operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the manufacturer grade TT5080 with a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating, this insert delivers high wear resistance with moderate toughness. The 80-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and 0.008-inch corner radius make it well suited for tight-tolerance finishing passes. It features a positive rake geometry with a positive side clearance and an FA chip breaker optimized for finishing. The insert is screw-held and provides 2 cutting edges per insert.

This insert is engineered for machining stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, corresponding to ISO material codes M and S. It is used in production and job-shop environments where surface finish and dimensional accuracy on difficult-to-machine materials are the primary concerns. The FA chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation at the light depths of cut typical of finishing operations, reducing the risk of built-up edge on gummy or work-hardening alloys. Machinists running stainless or nickel-based superalloy components will find this insert applicable across a wide range of turning programs requiring consistent finish quality.

Key Features

• TT5080 grade with PVD AlTiN and TiN coating for high wear resistance on stainless steel and superalloys
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CCMT) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• FA chip breaker optimized for finishing operations and controlled chip formation
• Positive side clearance reduces friction and heat buildup on the workpiece
• 2 usable cutting edges per insert to maximize cost-per-edge value
• Screw-held mounting for secure, repeatable positioning in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard production insert for CCMT-series toolholders accepting the ANSI size code 32.50.5 (ISO size code 09T302). Confirm toolholder seating geometry and screw size before installation.

Installation Notes

CCMT turning inserts are installed by licensed machinists or CNC setup technicians using the appropriate torque screwdriver specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Always index or replace the insert with the machine at a complete stop and with the spindle locked. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Do not overtighten the clamp screw, as this can fracture the carbide body.
