Iscar 5505454 Cnmg 431-PP IC907 Turning Insert Isoturn

Product Description

The ISCAR 5505454 is a CNMG 431-PP solid carbide turning insert in the Isoturn series, designed for use on CNC lathes and turning centers in metal cutting operations. Coated with TiAlN and TiN via a PVD process, this insert carries the IC907 manufacturer grade and delivers wear resistance and thermal stability across a range of workpiece materials. The 80-degree diamond insert shape provides a strong cutting edge geometry. Key dimensions include a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, a 0.016 inch corner radius, an insert length of 12.9 mm (0.508 inches), and an insert thickness of 0.1874 inches. A licensed machinist or CNC operator installs this insert as part of a toolholder system on production turning equipment.

This insert is suited for turning operations on hard materials, stainless steels, high-temperature alloys, and a broad range of metals classified under ISO workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The PP chip breaker geometry supports positive rake cutting action and is intended for applications where controlled chip formation is required. The maximum depth of cut is 4.0 mm (0.1575 inches). It is held in place via a clamp and pin insert holding method, making it compatible with standard CNMG-style toolholders. Typical use cases include production turning on both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in industrial machining environments.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for debris or wear before installing a new insert.
