Iscar 5603290 Milling Insert HM90 Apcr 160532R-P IC28

Product Description

The ISCAR 5603290 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation HM90 APCR 160532R-P IC28. It is a single-sided, parallelogram-shaped insert with a right-hand cutting orientation, designed for use in face and shoulder milling operations on non-ferrous metal workpieces. The insert features an uncoated bright finish, a positive rake geometry, and a honed cutting edge style. With 2 cutting edges, a corner radius of 0.126 inches, and a maximum depth of cut of 0.6102 inches, it delivers consistent performance in aluminum and other non-ferrous applications. It is held in the cutter body by a screw clamp and is part of the HELIALU series.

This insert is intended for use in milling cutters within the HM90-16 cutter series. It is suited for high-production and finishing operations on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys. The positive rake and honed edge reduce cutting forces and minimize built-up edge, making this insert a practical choice for machinists and tooling specialists running CNC mills or manual milling machines in job shop and production environments. The P chip breaker designation indicates specific chipforming geometry matched to this workpiece material class.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC28 manufacturer grade for non-ferrous cutting
• Uncoated bright finish reduces friction and prevents aluminum adhesion
• Positive rake geometry with honed cutting edge minimizes cutting forces
• Corner radius of 0.126 inches (3.20 mm) for controlled surface finish
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.6102 inches (15.50 mm)
• Right-hand, single-sided insert with 2 available cutting edges
• Screw-held mounting compatible with HM90-16 series cutter bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use with HM90-16 series milling cutter bodies. Compatible with systems designated under ANSI code HM90 APCR 160532R-P IC28 and ISO code HM90 APCR 160532R-P. Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the manufacturer-specified interface; do not overtighten, as this can crack the carbide insert body. Verify insert seating and tool runout before resuming cutting operations.
