Iscar 5510333 Cnmg 332-M3M IC6025 Turning Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5510333 is a CNMG 332-M3M indexable turning insert in the Isoturn series, designed for general-purpose external and facing turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from solid carbide and finished with a CVD-applied TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN multilayer coating, this double-ended insert carries the IC6025 grade designation. It features an 80-degree diamond shape, a 0.375-inch inscribed circle, and a corner radius of 0.031 inches, making it suited for moderate cutting depths on medium-to-difficult workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install these inserts in standard CNMG-compatible toolholders across production and job-shop environments.

This insert is rated for primary use on M-group workpiece materials, which include stainless steels and other difficult-to-machine alloys. The M3M chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation across facing and longitudinal turning passes. With a maximum depth of cut of 4.5 mm (0.177 inches) and a positive rake configuration, the 5510333 targets medium material removal rates where surface finish and edge stability both matter. It is well suited to general turning operations in both production and maintenance machining settings.

Key Features

• CVD multilayer coating: TiCN plus Al2O3 plus TiN for wear and heat resistance
• IC6025 carbide grade optimized for stainless steel and difficult-to-machine M-group materials
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with positive rake for efficient cutting forces
• M3M chip breaker geometry supports facing and longitudinal turning with controlled chip evacuation
• Double-ended insert design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Clamp and pin insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in CNMG toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNMG 332-compatible toolholders. Conforms to ISO 13399 standards. Multi-use application includes facing operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and tighten the clamping screw or pin to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque before resuming cuts. Inspect the cutting edge and chip breaker for wear or chipping at regular intervals based on cutting conditions.
