Iscar 5508234 WNMG332WG IC807 Turning Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508234 is a WNMG332WG solid carbide turning insert in the IC807 grade, designed for precision CNC lathe and turning center operations. The insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which delivers thermal resistance and edge wear performance across a wide range of workpiece materials. With an 80-degree trigon shape, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius, this insert suits both roughing and finishing passes depending on depth of cut and feed selection. The WG chip breaker geometry controls chip flow at the cutting edge. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC tool setters in production and job shop environments.

The ISCAR 5508234 is suited for turning applications in materials coded P, M, K, H, and S under ISO workpiece classification, covering carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hardened materials, and superalloys. It fits into standard WNMG-style toolholders using clamp and pin holding methods. The Isoturn series is commonly used in both external and profiling turning operations on conventional and gang-tooled CNC lathes. Maximum depth of cut is 3.50 mm (0.1378 inches), making this insert appropriate for moderate stock removal and semi-finish turning passes.

Key Features

• IC807 submicron solid carbide grade with TiAlN PVD coating for extended tool life across multiple material groups
• WG chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation during turning
• 80-degree trigon insert shape (WNMG) provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• 3/8-inch inscribed circle with 1/32-inch corner radius suits medium-duty turning and profiling
• Wiper edge included for improved surface finish at standard feed rates
• Clamp and pin holding method ensures rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct fit for standard WNMG-style turning toolholders that accept clamp and pin insert retention, consistent with ISO 13399 tooling interface standards. Compatible with workpiece material groups P, M, K, H, and S per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tool setter. Power down or place the machine in an E-stop state before indexing or replacing inserts. Use a torx or hex key of the correct size for the clamp screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten, as this can crack the insert or damage the pocket. Inspect the toolholder pocket and pin for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
