Iscar 5505130 Vnmg 332-TF Turning Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5505130 is a VNMG 332-TF turning insert in the Isoturn series, manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating. The insert features a 35-degree diamond shape (V-style) with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius. It measures 0.6535 inches in length and 3/16 inches in thickness, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.138 inches. The TF chip breaker geometry supports positive-rake cutting action, making this insert well suited for finishing and semi-finishing operations. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert in compatible toolholders using a clamp and pin holding method.

This insert is designed for use in CNC turning centers and manual lathes where precision metal removal is required. The IC907 grade with TiAlN PVD coating is suited for machining a broad range of workpiece materials including steels (P), stainless steels (M), cast irons (K), non-ferrous metals (N), hardened materials (H), and superalloys (S). It is particularly effective in light to medium finishing cuts where edge sharpness and surface finish are priorities. The Isoturn series designation indicates compatibility with ISCAR Isoturn-style toolholders that accept VNMG-style inserts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlN coating for wear resistance and thermal stability
• 35-degree diamond insert shape (V) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• TF chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing and light semi-finishing operations
• 1/32-inch corner radius for precise edge definition on finished surfaces
• Compatible with H, M, S, K, N, and P ISO workpiece material groups
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for system integration

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNMG-style toolholders within the ISCAR Isoturn series. Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S per ISO classification. Insert uses a clamp and pin holding method; verify toolholder compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert firmly against the toolholder pocket and confirm the clamp and pin are fully engaged before resuming operation. Do not exceed the recommended maximum depth of cut of 0.138 inches for this insert geometry.
