Iscar 5601348 Milling Insert Adkt 150524R-HM IC328 Ticn

Product Description

The ISCAR 5601348 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation ADKT 150524R-HM in grade IC328. It belongs to the HELIMILL series and is designed for use in shoulder and face milling cutters compatible with the ETS, FTS, ADK, and E90 cutter families. The insert features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry, and a TiCN coating applied via PVD process. The honed cutting edge and HM chip breaker work together to maintain stable chip flow and edge integrity when cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Screw clamping secures the insert in the pocket during high-feed passes.

This insert is sized at insert size code 150524 with a right-hand cutting orientation and a single-sided configuration offering two cutting edges. It is suited for milling applications on CNC machining centers and manual mills in job shop, production, and aerospace environments where hard-to-machine materials demand a tough, wear-resistant grade. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.472 inches (12.00 mm) and an effective cutting edge length of 0.543 inches, it handles both roughing and semi-finishing passes in steel and superalloy components. Material grade classifications C2, C3, C5, and C6 indicate broad application coverage across ferrous and high-temperature alloy work.

Key Features

• IC328 grade with PVD TiCN coating for wear resistance in steel and superalloy milling
• Positive rake and honed cutting edge style reduce cutting forces and protect the edge
• HM chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation across a range of feed rates
• Right-hand, single-sided insert with 2 cutting edges for cost-effective edge indexing
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.472 inches (12.00 mm) supports aggressive material removal
• Compatible with ETS, FTS, ADK, and E90 HELIMILL cutter bodies via screw-lock insert holding

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR HELIMILL series cutter bodies designated ETS, FTS, ADK, and E90. Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards under code ADKT 150524R-HM IC328.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician following standard indexable insert procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the cutter body torque specification provided by the cutter body manufacturer — do not over-torque. Inspect the insert pocket seating surface and clamping screw for wear or debris before installing a fresh insert.
