Iscar 5507589 Turning Insert TPG-322 IC9054 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5507589 is a triangular carbide turning insert designed for precision metal-cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Manufactured to the TPG-322 standard, it carries the IC9054 grade designation and a TPGN chip breaker style. The insert features a triangular shape (T-code), a P-type clearance angle, and a G-tolerance classification, which together define a ground, close-tolerance insert suited for finishing and semi-finishing cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Machinists and toolroom operators use this insert where consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy are required in high-production turning applications.

This insert fits standard TPGN-style toolholders used across a wide range of turning centers and manual turning setups. It is appropriate for external turning, facing, and light profiling operations in production machining environments. The IC9054 carbide grade is engineered for cutting performance in applications where tool life and edge stability are priorities. This insert is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces, making it suitable for shop restocking or toolcrib replenishment.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the insert clamp to the manufacturer-specified clamping method for your toolholder. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping cutting edges prior to use.
