Manufactured to ISO 13399 standards, this insert carries the IC807 submicron carbide grade with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. It features a 35-degree diamond (V) insert shape, a 3\/8 inch inscribed circle, a 3\/64 inch corner radius, and a positive rake geometry. The SM chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation across a broad range of materials. It is installed and replaced by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ISCAR 5550500 suits turning applications across multiple workpiece material groups, including steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), hardened materials (H), and superalloys (S), as classified by ISO material codes. The Isoturn series designation indicates compatibility with standard VCMT toolholder systems using screw-lock (top clamp) holding. It is suited to finishing and semi-finishing passes where consistent surface finish and dimensional control are required. The 3.00 mm maximum depth of cut makes it best applied in light-to-medium stock removal scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIC807 submicron carbide grade with TiAlN PVD coating for wear resistance across diverse workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond (V) insert shape with positive rake for reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSM chip breaker for controlled chip formation in finishing and semi-finishing operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew-lock (top clamp) holding method for secure, repeatable insert indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISO 13399 compliant — standardized tooling data for CAM and presetter integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for P, M, K, H, and S ISO workpiece material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement insert for VCMT333 toolholder seats in the ISCAR Isoturn series.

Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification — do not use the raw supplier spec from this listing as a substitute for your toolholder documentation. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and positional accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: VCMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond (V), 35-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: IC807\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide (Submicron)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/64 inch (0.047 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.60 mm (0.654 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.173 inches (4.40 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\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\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: SM\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, P, S (ISO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Isoturn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 insert per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.243 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: 5550500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731404587314,"sku":"5550500","price":338.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ce9c05afe9fe8d2ae89cde8829153f9d.jpg?v=1788730602","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-5550500-carbide-turning-insert-3-8-inch-ic","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
