Iscar 5600496 Milling Insert Sekr 1203AFTR-HS IC50M Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5600496 is a solid carbide milling insert identified by ISO code SEKR 1203AFTR-HS in grade IC50M. It is a square-shaped, single-sided insert with a 90-degree included angle, four cutting edges, and a right-hand orientation. The uncoated bright finish and T-Land cutting edge style make it well suited for positive-rake milling operations in steel and stainless steel applications. The insert measures 0.5 inches in inscribed circle diameter, 0.5 inches in length and width, and 0.125 inches in thickness, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.256 inches. It is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals using a clamp-style holding method.

This insert is designed for use in face milling and shoulder milling applications on ferrous workpiece materials, specifically carbon steel and stainless steel. It belongs to the ISCARMILL series and is compatible with the F45E cutter series. The HS chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during aggressive or finishing passes on steel components in production machining environments. It is packaged individually and sold in a minimum order quantity of 10 units.
