Iscar 5605157 Milling Insert Rcmw 1607-T-FW IC910

Product Description

The ISCAR 5605157 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation RCMW 1607-T-FW in the IC910 grade. It belongs to the MILLSHRED series and features a round insert shape with a 360-degree included angle, delivering four usable cutting edges per insert. The substrate is coated with AlTiN via a PVD process, producing a wear-resistant surface suited for interrupted and continuous cuts. With a 0.3150-inch corner radius and a 0.6299-inch inscribed circle diameter, the insert is sized for medium to full-width radial engagement. Thickness is 0.1970 inches. The rake geometry is positive and the relief angle is 7 degrees, reducing cutting forces in demanding applications.

The RCMW 1607-T-FW IC910 is designed for milling steel and cast iron workpieces, covering primary material codes P and K. The segmented cutting edge style with the FW chip breaker promotes chip control in roughing and semi-finishing passes on ferrous materials. It is held in the cutter body by screw clamping and fits ISCAR FRW-series cutter bodies. This insert suits CNC machining centers and manual mills where consistent chip breaking and edge durability are required in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Round insert shape with 360-degree included angle provides 4 indexable cutting edges per insert
• IC910 grade solid carbide with PVD-applied AlTiN coating for wear and heat resistance
• Positive rake geometry and 7-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces on ferrous workpieces
• FW chip breaker with segmented cutting edge style for controlled chip formation
• 0.3150-inch maximum depth of cut and 0.6299-inch cutting edge effective length
• Neutral hand orientation allows flexible mounting in compatible cutter bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR FRW-series milling cutter bodies. Compatible with screw-clamped toolholders accepting RCMW 1607 round inserts. Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Always de-energize the machine and engage the spindle lock before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the cutter body manufacturer when securing the clamping screw — refer to the cutter body documentation for the appropriate torque value. Inspect the insert pocket seat and clamping screw threads for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
