Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523203 Ccgt Turning Insert

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523203 is a CCGT-style indexable turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Built from solid carbide with a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating, this insert features a diamond (C) shape with an 80-degree included angle and a 7-degree relief angle for positive-rake cutting geometry. The 0.0160-inch corner radius and neutral hand orientation make it a reliable choice for finish and semi-finish turning where tight tolerances and surface quality are priorities. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working with difficult materials install this insert into compatible CCGT toolholders using the standard screw-clamping method.

This insert is engineered for primary use on stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium - workpiece material codes M and S. The SA chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation during finish-cut passes at reduced depths. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.0950 inches and a 0.25-inch inscribed circle, the 5523203 fits standard CCGT21.51 toolholder pockets and suits applications in aerospace, medical device, and industrial component machining where work-hardening materials demand a sharp, coated carbide edge.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD AlTiN and TiN dual coating for heat and wear resistance on tough alloys
• Diamond (C) insert shape with 80-degree included angle and 7-degree positive-rake relief angle
• SA chip breaker geometry for controlled chip flow on finish and semi-finish cuts
• 0.0160-inch corner radius supports fine surface finish requirements
• Screw-clamp insert holding method for secure, repeatable indexing
• 2 cutting edges per insert; neutral hand suits left- or right-hand toolholder setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct fit for CCGT21.51 toolholder pockets per ANSI code CCGT21.51SATT5080 and ISO code CCGT060204SA TT5080. Optimized for turning stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Always bring the spindle to a full stop and index the machine before handling or replacing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw - do not overtighten. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
