Iscar 5506324 Turning Insert CCET3.002WF IC907 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506324 is a solid carbide turning insert with the CCET3.002WF designation and IC907 manufacturer grade. It features a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN coating stack designed for high wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. The insert measures 9.5 mm (0.374 inches) in length with a 3/8-inch (0.3752 inches) inscribed circle and a 0.002-inch corner radius. The 80-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape, positive rake geometry, and WF chip breaker make this insert suited for finishing operations. It is held in place via screw clamping and is installed by machinists and CNC turning center operators in production and job shop environments.

This insert is intended for finishing passes on a turning center or CNC lathe. The WF chip breaker geometry targets light-to-moderate chip loads typical of finishing cuts. The IC907 grade covers a broad material range including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. Maximum depth of cut is 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches). The positive side clearance and positive rake angle reduce cutting forces, which is advantageous when working with thin-walled or deflection-sensitive workpieces.

Key Features

• IC907 grade with PVD TiAlN and TiN coating for high wear resistance on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials
• WF chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing operations with light chip loads
• 80-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape with positive rake and 7-degree relief angle to reduce cutting forces
• 0.002-inch corner radius for fine surface finish on finishing passes
• Screw-hold clamping method for secure, repeatable positioning in compatible toolholders
• Conforms to ISO 13399 standard for tool data representation

Compatibility

Designed for use in CCET-style screw-clamp turning toolholders accepting a 3/8-inch inscribed circle insert. ANSI insert code CCET3-002; ISO insert code CCET09T3005. Compatible with toolholders specified for the Isoturn series. Verify toolholder pocket and clamping screw specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque - do not overtighten, as this can chip the insert edge. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
