Part of the Isoturn series, it features a 55-degree diamond shape with a positive rake geometry and a clearance code C configuration. The grade is IC20, an uncoated solid carbide formulation suited to finishing passes where sharp cutting edges and tight tolerances are required. The inscribed circle measures 0.25 inches, the insert length is 0.305 inches (7.75 mm), and the corner radius is 0.0039 inches. An AS chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation during light finishing cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for finishing and light turning applications across a wide range of workpiece materials, including ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys, and non-metallic materials, as indicated by the universal primary workpiece material classification (H, K, M, N, S ISO codes). It is well suited for high-precision turning where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are the primary goals. The screw-in insert holding method provides secure seating in compatible DCGT toolholders used in production turning environments by machinists and CNC lathe operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55-degree diamond insert shape (shape code D) for versatile turning geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIC20 uncoated solid carbide grade optimized for sharp-edge finishing cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake geometry reduces cutting forces on thin-wall and delicate workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAS chipbreaker promotes efficient chip control during light finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew-type clamping for rigid, repeatable insert seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for system integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for DCGT-style toolholders compatible with a 1\/4 inch inscribed circle insert seat.

Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the toolholder specification; do not over-torque the screw. Inspect the insert pocket and seat for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact. Confirm tool offset and depth-of-cut settings on the CNC controller 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\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: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3051 inches (7.75 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inch (0.0938 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0039 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0787 inches (2.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1102 inches (2.80 mm)\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\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\u003eChipbreaker\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Isoturn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal (H, K, M, N, 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: 0.03 pounds\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: 5540031\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731639501106,"sku":"5540031","price":247.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4edc86352925a334b0bacbee728fbd8b.jpg?v=1788733442","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-5540031-dcgt-turning-insert-1-4-ic-55-diamond-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
