Iscar 5507555 VNMG332TF IC9250 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5507555 is a VNMG332TF-geometry turning insert in grade IC9250, designed for single-point turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. The insert is manufactured from solid carbide and carries a CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN, which delivers high wear resistance across a wide range of cutting conditions. At 0.6535 inches in length with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius, this is a standard-size negative-rake insert suited for moderate to heavy material removal. It seats via clamp or pin holding methods in compatible VNMG-style toolholders.

This insert targets steel and stainless steel workpiece materials (ISO P and M classifications) and is also rated for hardened materials (ISO H). The TF chip breaker geometry supports roughing and medium machining operations, making it useful across production turning, profiling, and interrupted-cut applications in general metalworking and precision machining environments. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces per order.

Key Features

• CVD multilayer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, TiN for high wear resistance and thermal stability
• TF chip breaker optimized for roughing and medium machining operations
• 35-degree diamond (rhombic) V-shape insert for access to profiling and contouring cuts
• Negative side clearance with positive rake for stable, low-force cutting action
• Rated for steel (P), stainless steel (M), and hardened materials (H) workpiece classifications
• Compliant with ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation standard

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNMG-style turning toolholders that accept a 332 ANSI size code insert (ISO size code 160408) with clamp or pin holding. Compatible toolholders must accommodate a negative-rake, 35-degree V-shape insert with a 0.15-inch hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the pocket and torque the clamping screw or pin per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
