Iscar 5550216 CCMT3114 IC807 Turning Insert Tialn Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5550216 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCMT3114 geometry, manufactured under the Isoturn series. Coated with TiAlN via a PVD process, the IC807 grade insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous and interrupted turning operations. The 80-degree diamond shape combined with a positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/64-inch corner radius, this insert is suited for precision finishing and light-to-medium roughing on a range of workpiece materials. Screw-type insert holding provides secure clamping in compatible toolholders.

This insert is designed for CNC lathe and turning center applications across multiple material categories including steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant superalloys, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H. The CCMT3114 designation and IC807 TiAlN-coated grade make it a practical choice for shops running high-surface-finish turning passes at moderate cutting parameters. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments are the primary installers.

Key Features

• TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for improved heat and wear resistance
• IC807 submicron carbide grade supports consistent performance across multiple material groups
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and supports chip evacuation
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (code C) provides two usable cutting edges
• Screw clamp holding method ensures rigid, repeatable insert positioning
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.118 inches (3.00 mm) suitable for finishing and light roughing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification replacement turning insert for CCMT3114-style toolholders accepting screw-lock (code C clearance, code M tolerance) inserts within the Isoturn series.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine in a full stop and lockout-tagout procedures observed. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat and torque the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before installing a new insert. Confirm insert orientation matches the required rake direction before resuming cuts.
