Iscar 5600515 Milling Insert Adkt 1505PDR-HM IC20 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5600515 is a solid carbide milling insert manufactured to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards under the HELIMILL series. Carrying the ANSI designation ADKT 1505PDR-HM IC20, this insert features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a right-hand cutting orientation, and a positive rake geometry. The bright, uncoated IC20 carbide grade delivers a hard, sharp edge suited for demanding milling operations. With 2 cutting edges, a honed cutting edge style, and a screw-based holding method, this single-sided insert is designed for machinists and tool-room professionals running high-performance milling cutters in production environments.

This insert is designed for use in HELIMILL series cutter bodies compatible with the ETS, FTS, ADK, and E90 cutter series. It is well suited for milling stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The IC20 uncoated carbide grade is particularly effective where sharp, uncoated edges are required to minimize built-up edge on non-ferrous and heat-resistant alloys. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and profile milling in both production shop and job-shop settings.

• Effective cutting edge length of 0.541 inches
• Compatible with ETS, FTS, ADK, and E90 HELIMILL cutter bodies
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR HELIMILL series cutter bodies in the ETS, FTS, ADK, and E90 cutter series. Suited for machining stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), non-ferrous metals (N), superalloys and titanium (S), and hard materials (H) per ISO workpiece material classification.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the cutter body fully secured and the machine spindle locked or powered down. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the insert screw to the cutter body manufacturer's specified torque — do not over-tighten, as this can fracture the carbide. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the cutter body manufacturer's runout and setting procedures before returning the tool to service.
