Iscar 5601906 Sekn 1203AFTN IC910 Milling Insert Square

Product Description

The ISCAR 5601906 is a square-shaped solid carbide milling insert carrying the ISO designation SEKN 1203AFTN and manufacturer grade IC910. It features an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering elevated hardness and oxidation resistance for demanding milling operations. The insert measures 0.5000 inches in length, 0.5000 inches in width, and 0.1250 inches in thickness. With four cutting edges and a positive rake geometry, it is designed for efficient material removal in face and shoulder milling applications. Licensed ISCARMILL F45E cutter series tooling is the intended platform. Machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments are the primary installers and users.

This insert is suited for milling steel and cast iron workpieces in both roughing and finishing contexts. It carries a T-Land cutting edge style and a flat top chip breaker configuration with a neutral hand orientation. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.2560 inches (6.50 mm), making it appropriate for moderate material removal passes on ferrous components. It is held in the cutter body by a clamp-style insert holding method common to ISCARMILL platform tooling. Single-sided design means all four edges are located on one face of the insert.

Key Features

• AlTiN PVD coating for high-temperature resistance during steel and cast iron milling
• Four cutting edges per insert with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• T-Land cutting edge style improves edge stability on ferrous materials
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.2560 inches (6.50 mm)
• Compatible with ISCARMILL F45E cutter series
• Meets ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for insert geometry and identification

Compatibility

Designed for use with the ISCARMILL F45E cutter series. Conforms to ANSI code SEK 42AFTN IC910 and ISO code SEKN 1203AFTN. Rated for material grades C2, C3, and C6 with primary workpiece materials of steel (P) and cast iron (K).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the cutter body manufacturer when securing the clamp — do not overtighten by hand estimate alone. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
