Iscar 5602417 HM90 Apkt 1003PDR IC328 Milling Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5602417 is a solid carbide milling insert designated HM90 APKT 1003PDR in grade IC328, designed for high-productivity face and shoulder milling operations. This parallelogram-shaped, single-sided insert features a PVD-applied TiCN coating that delivers wear resistance and thermal stability across demanding cutting conditions. With a positive rake geometry, honed cutting edge, and an 11-degree relief angle, it reduces cutting forces and extends tool life when machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The insert measures 0.451 inches in length, 0.266 inches in inscribed circle diameter, and 0.139 inches thick, and is held in place by a screw-clamping method.

This insert is suited for use in CNC machining centers performing face milling, shoulder milling, and slotting operations on steel, stainless steel, and difficult-to-machine superalloys and titanium. It belongs to the HELI2000 series and is compatible with HM90-10 cutter bodies. Right-hand cutting geometry makes it appropriate for standard right-hand spindle rotation setups common in horizontal and vertical machining center applications in both production shops and job shops.

Key Features

• TiCN coating applied via PVD process for improved wear resistance and edge integrity
• Positive rake with honed cutting edge reduces cutting forces on difficult alloys
• 2 cutting edges per insert; single-sided, right-hand orientation
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.386 inches (8.00 mm)
• PDR chip breaker geometry suited for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Screw-clamping insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with HM90-10 series cutter bodies. ANSI code HM90 APKT 1003PDR IC328; ISO code HM90 APKT 1003PDR. Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians using the screw-clamp method specified for HM90-10 series toolholders. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key at the manufacturer-specified torque range for the cutter body to avoid cracking the carbide substrate. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or contamination before seating the new insert.
