Iscar 5504261 CNMG432TF IC507 Turning Insert 0.5in Ic

Product Description

The ISCAR 5504261 is a CNMG-style solid carbide turning insert in the Isoturn series, designed for precision external and internal turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Coated with TiCN and Titanium Nitride (TiN) via a PVD coating process, the IC507 grade delivers controlled wear resistance and edge stability across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert features an 80-degree diamond shape with a positive rake geometry, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, and a 0.03125-inch corner radius. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this type of tooling.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material application, covering ISO material groups H, M, P, and S. That range includes hardened steels, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature superalloys. It fits turning applications where a CNMG 432 insert geometry is specified, including roughing and semi-finishing passes. The TF chip breaker geometry supports positive cutting action and chip control at moderate to aggressive feed rates. Maximum depth of cut is 4.00 mm (0.1570 inches).

Key Features

• IC507 grade with PVD-applied TiCN and TiN coating for extended tool life across universal ISO material groups
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CNMG style) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• TF chip breaker geometry promotes consistent chip formation during turning
• 0.5-inch inscribed circle with 0.03125-inch corner radius suits a broad range of depth-of-cut and finish requirements
• Compatible with clamp and pin insert holding methods
• Meets ISO 13399 tooling data standards for digital integration with CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for CNMG 432 insert seats using clamp or pin holding methods in ISCAR Isoturn series toolholders. Confirm toolholder pocket geometry and insert seat dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Turning inserts of this type are installed and indexed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating, indexing, or replacing any insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-recommended seating hardware to secure the clamp or pin — do not overtighten by hand. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to avoid seating errors and premature edge failure.
