It features a 55-degree diamond shape (Insert Shape Code D) with a positive rake angle and a 7-degree relief angle, making it well suited for light finishing and semi-finishing operations. The inscribed circle measures 3\/8 inch (0.3748 inches), insert length is 11.60 mm (0.4567 inches), and the corner radius is 1\/32 inch (0.0315 inches). The IC20 uncoated solid carbide grade provides sharp cutting edges for non-ferrous and light-duty universal material applications. Installation is by screw-hold method. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5540006 is designed for use in turning centers and CNC lathes performing finishing passes on a broad range of workpiece materials. The IC20 grade carries primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, indicating suitability across cast iron, non-ferrous, stainless, non-metals, steel, and high-temperature alloys. The AS chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip control during light-depth finishing cuts with a maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches). It is appropriate for both manual turret lathes and automated CNC turning applications where tight tolerances are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCGT insert style with 55-degree diamond shape for accessible cutting geometry in tight-clearance finishing operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIC20 uncoated solid carbide grade rated for universal workpiece materials including steel, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle with 7-degree relief (Clearance Code C) reduces cutting forces during light finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAS chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation at shallow depths of cut up to 3.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew-hold mounting method (Insert Holding Method: Screw) for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerance Code G ensures close dimensional consistency for repeatable insert indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in DCGT-style toolholders compatible with the Isoturn series. Specific toolholder compatibility should be verified against the ISCAR Isoturn series toolholder specifications using Insert Size Code 3-2 and screw-clamp mounting. No additional compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is installed and indexed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the turret or tool post secured before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key for the clamping screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the screw, as solid carbide inserts are brittle and can crack under excessive clamping force. Verify seating and runout with a dial indicator before resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCGT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond (55 degrees)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Isoturn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: IC20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3748 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.60 mm (0.4567 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inch (0.1563 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inch (0.0315 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1732 inches (4.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 piece per package (minimum order quantity: 10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISCAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5540006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750331154738,"sku":"5540006","price":286.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/de3d9c9e3fdb67a991548882f4d55168.jpg?v=1788914838","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-5540006-dcgt-3-2-as-turning-insert-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
