Iscar 5569008 VNMG2.5-1-F3M IC806 Turning Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5569008 is a solid carbide turning insert with the VNMG2.5-1-F3M geometry, designed for precision single-point turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC806 manufacturer grade with an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, including ISCAR's SumoTec proprietary coating treatment for enhanced edge stability and heat resistance. The insert features a 35-degree diamond shape (V code) with a positive rake angle and an F3M chip breaker optimized for controlled chip formation. With a 7.15 mm inscribed circle and a 0.4 mm corner radius, it is sized for moderate stock removal and finishing passes in demanding turning applications. Licensed machinists and CNC lathe operators install this insert as part of routine tooling changeouts.

This insert is designated for machining ISO material group S workpiece materials, which includes heat-resistant superalloys and titanium alloys — materials that place high thermal and abrasive demands on cutting edges. The Isoturn series geometry is suited to external and internal turning on precision components in aerospace, medical, and energy sector applications. The F3M chip breaker geometry performs well in finishing to semi-finishing depth ranges, with a maximum depth of cut of 1.50 mm (0.059 inches). Right-hand cutting orientation must be confirmed against the toolholder setup prior to installation.

Key Features

• IC806 grade with AlTiN PVD coating and SumoTec surface treatment for extended tool life on superalloys and titanium
• 35-degree diamond insert shape (V) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• F3M chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing to semi-finishing passes
• Maximum depth of cut: 1.50 mm (0.059 inches)
• VNMG tolerance and clearance codes for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders
• Conforms to ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with VNMG-style toolholders in the ISCAR Isoturn series. Confirm toolholder pocket geometry, insert seating, and right-hand cutting direction before installation. No additional specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear, debris, or damage before seating the new insert. Verify insert orientation and chip breaker side face the correct direction for the programmed toolpath before resuming cuts.
