Iscar 5601894 Milling Insert Apkt 1003PDTR-RM IC950

Product Description

The ISCAR 5601894 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation APKT 1003PDTR-RM in grade IC950. This single-sided, right-hand parallelogram insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted and continuous milling operations. The insert seats via screw-lock into compatible HELIMILL and HM90-10 series milling cutters. With a positive rake geometry, chamfered and honed cutting edges, and an RM chip breaker, it is engineered for controlled chip formation and reduced cutting forces. It weighs 0.05 pounds and is designed for installation by CNC machinists and tooling setup technicians.

This insert is suited for milling steel and cast iron workpieces across both roughing and semi-finishing applications. The RM chip breaker geometry supports reliable chip evacuation at moderate to aggressive feed rates. The IC950 grade targets material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron) per ISO classification, making this insert appropriate for production milling environments where consistent tool life and predictable edge behavior are required. It fits HELIMILL-series and HM90-10-compatible cutter bodies that accept the 10-03 insert pocket size.

Key Features

• TiAlN PVD coating on solid carbide substrate for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Positive rake with chamfered and honed cutting edges reduces cutting forces and edge chipping
• RM chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation in steel and cast iron milling
• Right-hand, single-sided insert with screw-lock holding for repeatable seating
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.386 inches supports both roughing and semi-finishing passes
• Compliant with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for tooling data interoperability

Compatibility

Designed for use in HELIMILL series and HM90-10 cutter bodies that accept APKT 1003-size insert pockets. Compatible with material grades C1, C2, C3, C5, and C6 per ANSI classification, targeting steel and cast iron workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC tooling technicians or machinists. Ensure the cutter body is fully removed from the spindle and all machine power is locked out before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key specified by the cutter body manufacturer to secure the clamping screw — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert body. Inspect the insert pocket seating surface for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and edge alignment.
