Iscar 5568601 Turning Insert Tpmt 2-1 IC830 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5568601 is a solid carbide turning insert in the TPMT style, designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC830 grade designation and is PVD-coated with TiAlN and TiN layers, giving it strong wear resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 60-degree triangular shape with a 0.4 mm (0.0157 inch) corner radius and positive side clearance, making it well suited for finishing operations where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are the primary objectives. It belongs to the ISCAR Isoturn series.

This insert is intended for finishing cuts on steel, stainless steel, special alloys, super alloys, and hardened materials, covering ISO material groups P, M, S, and H. It fits standard TPMT-style toolholders used in both manual and CNC turning applications. The IC830 grade is characterized as offering moderate wear resistance combined with toughness for steel and stainless steel, and high wear resistance for special and super alloys, making it a versatile choice for shops running diverse material types on turning equipment.

Key Features

• IC830 PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN coating for extended tool life across multiple material groups
• 60-degree triangular insert shape (TPMT style) with positive side clearance for reduced cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius optimized for finishing operations and fine surface finishes
• Maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm (0.1180 inch) for light finishing passes
• Inscribed circle diameter of 0.2500 inch for standard TPMT toolholder seating
• ISO 13399 compliant for seamless integration with tool management software

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for standard TPMT-style turning toolholders. Compatible with workpiece materials in ISO groups P (steel), M (stainless steel), S (special and super alloys), and H (hardened materials).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Before indexing or replacing the insert, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all axes are in a safe position. Seat the insert firmly in the toolholder pocket and tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque using the appropriate torx or hex key. Inspect the insert seat and clamping hardware for wear or debris before each insert change.
