Iscar 5566935 Ccmt 3-2-SM IC6025 Turning Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566935 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CCMT style, designed for single-end external turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. Grade IC6025 features a three-layer CVD coating — TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN — applied over a solid carbide substrate for wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The insert measures 9.70 mm (0.382 inches) in length with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius. The SM chip breaker geometry promotes positive rake cutting action, making this insert well-suited for finishing and light roughing passes where controlled chip evacuation matters.

This insert is intended primarily for machining stainless steel (ISO material code M) and is part of ISCAR's Isoturn series. It is applicable in boring and chamfering operations in addition to standard turning. The positive rake geometry and tight tolerance class (M) support consistent performance in precision turning environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in job shops, aerospace suppliers, and general manufacturing facilities are the typical end users for this insert grade and geometry.

Key Features

• IC6025 grade with CVD-applied TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN multilayer coating for extended tool life on stainless steel
• SM chip breaker geometry with positive rake for controlled chip formation and reduced cutting forces
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CCMT) with 7-degree relief angle provides strong cutting edge geometry
• Maximum depth of cut: 3.00 mm (0.118 inches)
• Screw-in insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders
• Conforms to ISO 13399 standards for tool data representation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use insert for CCMT-style toolholders accepting a 3/8-inch inscribed circle insert with a 0.173-inch hole diameter, per ISO CCMT 3-2-SM specifications. Multi-use application includes turning, boring, and chamfering operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide substrate. Verify insert seating and tool overhang before resuming cutting operations.
