Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523145 Turning Insert Carbide

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523145 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CPMT series, designed for precision metal-turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a diamond (80-degree) shape with a neutral hand orientation and a positive rake geometry, making it well-suited for finishing and light roughing passes. An AlTiN and Titanium Nitride (TiN) PVD coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection during high-speed cutting. The insert measures 0.254 inches in length with a 0.25-inch inscribed circle and a 0.016-inch corner radius. It is held in the toolholder by a screw-clamp method and includes two usable cutting edges, improving cost-per-edge value.

This insert is intended for machining stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium - materials that demand coating durability and consistent edge geometry. It is a common choice in aerospace, medical device, and general precision machining environments where tight tolerances and difficult-to-machine alloys are standard. The PC chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during these applications. The ISO designation for this insert is CPMT060204PC TT5080. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians are the typical end users for this insert grade and geometry.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with AlTiN and Titanium Nitride PVD coating for extended tool life on hard and heat-resistant alloys
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CPMT series) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• PC chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation in stainless steel, superalloy, and titanium applications
• 0.016-inch corner radius for finishing-range surface finish and edge strength balance
• Two cutting edges per insert with screw-clamp holding method for secure, repeatable seating
• Manufacturer grade TT5080 - optimized for primary workpiece materials coded M and S per ISO classification

Compatibility

Designed for use in CPMT-style screw-clamp turning toolholders accepting a 0.25-inch inscribed circle insert with clearance code P and tolerance code M. ISO designation CPMT060204PC TT5080 can be used to confirm cross-reference fitment with compatible toolholder systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and screw size specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the clamp screw - do not overtighten. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and runout accuracy.
