Iscar 5604597 Milling Insert IC328 Ticn Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5604597 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation HP ANCR 070204PNFR IC328. It belongs to ISCAR's HELIPLUS series and is designed for high-productivity milling of steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The insert features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a PNFR chip breaker, and a negative rake geometry. A PVD-applied TiCN coating improves wear resistance and edge stability. With two cutting edges and a right-hand cutting orientation, it is held in the cutter pocket by a screw. This insert is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC milling operations.

The HP ANCR 070204PNFR IC328 insert is suited for use in HELIPLUS-series milling cutters. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and slotting operations on steel and stainless steel workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The insert size code 070204 and its 0.303 inch maximum depth of cut make it appropriate for light-to-medium material removal passes. Compatible cutter series listed by the manufacturer are HP-ANK-07 and HP .90-07. Workpiece material codes covered are P, M, and S, corresponding to steel, stainless steel, and superalloys and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver specified by the cutter body manufacturer for the insert clamping screw — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide substrate. Verify correct hand orientation and chip breaker seating before resuming cuts.
