Iscar 5505377 Cnmg 542-TF IC907 Turning Insert Isoturn

Product Description

The ISCAR 5505377 is a CNMG 542-TF turning insert in the Isoturn series, manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN coating. The 80-degree diamond shape and TF chip breaker geometry support positive-rake cutting action, making this insert well suited for medium to finishing passes on a range of workpiece materials. Key dimensions include a 5/8 inch (0.6248 inch decimal) inscribed circle, a 1/4 inch insert thickness, and a 1/32 inch corner radius. Maximum depth of cut reaches 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches). The IC907 grade is a PVD-coated carbide grade targeting steel, stainless, and high-temperature alloy applications. Machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is appropriate for use in external and internal turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers in both production and job-shop environments. The CNMG insert style is compatible with standard CNMG-style toolholders that use clamp-and-pin holding methods. Primary workpiece material categories include steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), non-ferrous (N), hardened materials (H), and superalloys (S), as indicated by the ISO material codes. The Isoturn series is designed for general-purpose turning where controlled chip formation and edge security are priorities.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNMG-style turning toolholders that accept a 5/8 inch inscribed circle, 1/4 inch thick insert with clamp and pin holding. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and insert seat dimensions before installation. No specific toolholder model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before installing a new insert. Dispose of worn carbide inserts in accordance with applicable shop waste and recycling guidelines.
