Iscar 3355853 Cxmg 12T508-M3M IC806 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 3355853 is a CXMG-style solid carbide turning insert from the Logiq4turn series, finished with an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process. It carries the IC806 manufacturer grade and is engineered for positive-rake cutting operations. The diamond-shaped insert body features an 80-degree included angle, a 0.8 mm (0.0315 inch) corner radius, and a thickness of 5.79 mm (0.228 inches). Maximum depth of cut reaches 5.00 mm (0.197 inches). This insert is installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists working in demanding material applications where coating integrity and edge retention are critical.

This insert is intended for turning superalloy and titanium workpieces, material group code S per ISO classification. The positive rake geometry and AlTiN PVD coating are suited to the elevated temperatures and work-hardening tendencies common in these materials. Typical applications include external and internal turning on CNC lathes in aerospace, medical, and energy sector shops where difficult-to-machine alloys are processed. The M3M chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation across a range of feed and depth-of-cut combinations common in finishing and semi-finishing passes.

Key Features

• IC806 grade with AlTiN PVD coating for heat and wear resistance in superalloy and titanium cutting
• CXMG insert style with diamond shape (C code) and 80-degree included angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius for semi-finishing to finishing pass capability
• M3M chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation
• Positive rake configuration reduces cutting forces on difficult workpiece materials
• ISO 13399 compliant tooling data for CAM and tool management system integration

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders accepting CXMG 12T5 series inserts within the ISCAR Logiq4turn system. Specific holder compatibility should be verified against ISCAR Logiq4turn toolholder documentation for CXMG 12T5 seating geometry.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping specifications. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating to prevent rocking and premature edge failure. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing inserts. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for this insert style.
