Iscar 5510196 TNMG432M3M IC6025 Turning Insert Isoturn

Product Description

The ISCAR 5510196 is a TNMG432M3M-style solid carbide turning insert with grade IC6025, designed for precision external and internal turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN, which provides wear resistance, heat barrier performance, and surface lubricity across a wide range of cutting conditions. It carries a 60-degree triangular shape, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. With a positive rake geometry and the M3M chip breaker, it is engineered for controlled chip formation and consistent performance when machining stainless steel and similar difficult-to-machine alloys.

This insert is suited for turning stainless steel workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The M3M chip breaker geometry targets medium-duty cutting conditions, making it a practical choice for continuous and light-interrupted cuts on austenitic and other stainless grades. It belongs to the ISCAR Isoturn series and is installed by machinists and CNC tool-setup technicians in metalworking shops. The ISO 13399 standard compliance allows the tool data to integrate directly into CAM software and tool management systems without manual data entry.

Key Features

• IC6025 grade with CVD multilayer TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN coating for extended tool life on stainless steel
• M3M chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation during medium-depth turning passes
• Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces and heat generation at the cutting edge
• TNMG insert style supports both clamp and pin holding methods for secure, repeatable seating
• ISO 13399 compliant tool data for direct CAM and tool management integration
• Maximum depth of cut of 5.00 mm (0.197 inches) for defined pass parameters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling insert for ISCAR Isoturn series turning toolholders that accept TNMG-style inserts with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle and clamp or pin holding method.

Installation Notes

Installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine in a full stop and lockout-tagout procedures in place. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp hardware specified for the toolholder to seat the insert securely without cracking the carbide substrate. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Never force the insert into the pocket or exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for the grade and chip breaker selected.
