Iscar 5604598 Milling Insert IC908 Tialn Heliplus

Product Description

The ISCAR 5604598 is a solid carbide milling insert in the HP ANCR 070204PNFR IC908 designation, designed for use in HELIPLUS series milling cutters. The insert features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a right-hand cutting orientation, and a negative rake geometry. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process using a submicron carbide substrate, making it well suited for demanding milling operations across a wide range of workpiece materials. With two cutting edges per insert and a sharp cutting edge style, it delivers consistent chip control through the PNFR chip breaker configuration. The insert is held in the cutter body by screw clamp.

This insert is intended for professional machining environments including job shops, aerospace, and general manufacturing operations. It is rated for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.303 inches (7.70 mm), and the cutting edge effective length is 0.303 inches. It is a single-sided insert used in compatible HELIPLUS cutter bodies. Installation and replacement are typically performed by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians following standard insert indexing procedures.

• Two usable cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per insert consumed
• Compatible with HELIPLUS series HP-ANK-07 and HP .90-07 cutter bodies
• Meets ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for insert identification and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed for use in HELIPLUS series cutter bodies HP-ANK-07 and HP .90-07. ANSI code HP ANCR 070204PNFR IC908; ISO code HP ANCR 070204PNFR.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement is performed by qualified machinists with the spindle powered down and the machine placed in a safe lockout-tagout state. Use the appropriate torx or hex key driver to the cutter body manufacturer torque specification for screw-retained inserts. Inspect the insert pocket seat for debris or damage before seating the replacement insert. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edges prior to use.
