Iscar 5602917 Seht 1204AFN IC328 Carbide Milling Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5602917 is a SEHT 1204AFN square milling insert manufactured from solid carbide with a TiCN coating applied via PVD process. Part of the ISCARMILL series, it measures 0.5 inches in length and width with a thickness of 0.187 inches and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.256 inches. The insert features a positive rake geometry, sharp cutting edge style, and the AFN chip breaker profile. With four usable cutting edges and neutral hand orientation, it is designed for face and shoulder milling operations performed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production environments. The IC328 grade is optimized for cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium.

This insert is suited for milling applications involving ISO material groups P (steel), M (stainless steel), and S (superalloys and titanium). It is compatible with the F45ST cutter series and is sized to the ANSI code SEHT 43AFN IC328. Typical install scenarios include face milling, shoulder milling, and contour operations on CNC machining centers. The insert is held in place via screw clamping and is rated for material grades C2, C3, C5, and C6, making it appropriate for a broad range of ferrous and exotic alloy workpiece materials.

Key Features

• TiCN coating via PVD process for wear resistance on steel and stainless steel
• Four cutting edges per insert — single-sided, neutral hand
• Positive rake with sharp cutting edge style for reduced cutting forces
• AFN chip breaker profile optimized for steel, stainless, superalloys, and titanium
• Maximum depth of cut: 0.256 inches (6.50 mm)
• Compliant with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards

Compatibility

Compatible with the ISCARMILL F45ST cutter series. Conforms to ANSI code SEHT 43AFN IC328 and ISO code SEHT 1204AFN per ISO 13399. Rated for C2, C3, C5, and C6 material grades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician using the screw-clamping insert holding method. Ensure the cutter body pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing inserts. Follow the machine tool manufacturer torque specifications for the insert clamping screw — do not over-torque, as this can fracture the carbide substrate.
