It features an 80-degree diamond shape with a positive rake angle and 7-degree relief, making it well suited for light finishing and semi-finishing cuts on a wide range of workpiece materials. The inscribed circle measures 3\/8 inches, the corner radius is 1\/32 inches, and the insert length is 9.70 mm (0.382 inches). The IC20 uncoated grade delivers a sharp, consistent cutting edge for applications where a bright finish and low cutting forces matter. The AS chip breaker geometry supports chip control across universal material groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in CNC turning and manual lathe operations across general-purpose machining environments. Its CCGT designation and positive rake geometry make it a common choice for finishing passes on non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, carbon steels, and high-temperature alloys. Workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S are listed as primary applications, confirming its universal material compatibility. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production shops, job shops, and maintenance machining settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80-degree diamond insert shape (code C) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIC20 uncoated solid carbide grade with sharp, bright edge for finishing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAS chip breaker geometry for effective chip control across universal material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-on insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-degree relief angle (clearance code C) and tight tolerance code G for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm (0.118 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CCGT-style screw-on turning toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, 80-degree diamond insert.

Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the screw-on insert to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before placing the insert to ensure proper contact and dimensional accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: CCGT 3-2-AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond (80 degrees, Code C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: IC20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated (Bright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inches (0.031 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.70 mm (0.382 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches (0.156 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.173 inches (4.39 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 mm (0.118 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\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\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Isoturn\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\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 5540018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753816523058,"sku":"5540018","price":265.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e87a5c5f236bbdeca51ca2c2ae8fb025.jpg?v=1788941010","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-5540018-turning-insert-ccgt-3-2-as-ic20-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
