Iscar 5601617 Milling Insert Apkt 100332TR-RM IC328

Product Description

The ISCAR 5601617 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation APKT 100332TR-RM in grade IC328. It belongs to the HELIMILL series and is designed for use in HM90-10 compatible cutter bodies. The insert features a parallelogram (APKT) shape with an 85-degree included angle, a right-hand cutting orientation, and a positive rake geometry. The cutting edge is chamfered and honed for controlled engagement. A PVD-applied TiCN coating provides wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. The insert is single-sided with 2 cutting edges and is held in the cutter pocket by a screw clamp.

This insert is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, and S. It is rated for material grade classifications C2, C3, C5, and C6. With a maximum depth of cut of 8.00 mm (0.362 inches) and an effective cutting edge length of 0.380 inches, it handles moderate to aggressive passes in both roughing and semi-finishing applications on CNC milling centers. The RM chip breaker geometry supports chip control in these demanding material groups.

Key Features

• Grade IC328 with PVD TiCN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless applications
• Positive rake, chamfered and honed cutting edge reduces cutting forces and vibration
• Corner radius of 0.1260 inches (3.20 mm) for controlled surface finish and edge strength
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.362 inches (8.00 mm) supports productive material removal rates
• RM chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip evacuation in gummy and tough alloys
• Right-hand, single-sided insert with screw-clamping for repeatable seating in the pocket

Compatibility

Compatible with ISCAR HM90-10 cutter bodies in the HELIMILL series. Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards. ANSI code: APKT 100332TR-RM IC328. ISO code: APKT 100332TR-RM.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Disengage the spindle and confirm the machine is in a locked-out, zero-energy state before changing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer when seating the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the pocket seating surface for chips or debris before installing each insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
