Iscar 5566760 DCMT32PF IC806 Turning Insert 3/8 in Ic

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566760 is a solid carbide turning insert in the DCMT style, manufactured under the Isoturn series and designated grade IC806. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, making it well suited for high-temperature cutting environments. The insert has a 55-degree diamond shape, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. At 11.6 mm in length and 0.1563 inches thick, it is designed for positive-rake toolholders that use screw-type clamping. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this insert in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is engineered primarily for machining superalloys, corresponding to ISO workpiece material code S. The IC806 grade with PVD TiAlN coating provides wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting temperatures typical when turning nickel-based, cobalt-based, and titanium alloys. The Isoturn series designation indicates compatibility with ISCAR Isoturn toolholder systems. Maximum depth of cut is 3.00 mm. The DCMT geometry with a PF chip breaker promotes positive cutting action and controlled chip formation on difficult-to-machine materials.

Key Features

• IC806 PVD TiAlN-coated solid carbide grade optimized for superalloy turning
• 55-degree diamond insert shape (code D) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• PF chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation in tough materials
• 3/8-inch inscribed circle with 1/32-inch corner radius for precision finishing and light roughing
• Screw-type insert holding method for secure, repeatable positioning in the toolholder
• Compliant with ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for ISCAR Isoturn series toolholders accepting DCMT-style inserts with a screw-type clamping method and a 3/8-inch inscribed circle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the correct torque screwdriver for the clamping screw to avoid seat damage or screw failure; refer to the toolholder manufacturer documentation for the specified value. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the new insert.
