Iscar 5605173 Milling Insert IC928 Tialn Helimill

Product Description

The ISCAR 5605173 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation ADKT 1505PDR HM90 IC928. It is a single-sided, right-hand, parallelogram-shaped insert in the HELIMILL series, designed for high-productivity face and shoulder milling operations. The insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process and is manufactured to the IC928 grade, which is engineered for wear resistance and thermal stability under demanding cutting conditions. With a positive rake geometry, honed cutting edge, and 15-degree relief angle, this insert delivers clean, consistent cuts in metalworking applications across CNC machining centers and manual milling setups.

This insert is intended for use in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, and S. It is screw-held and fits the HM90-15 cutter series within the HELIMILL platform. Typical applications include roughing and semi-finishing passes on ferrous and exotic-metal components in job shop, aerospace, and general manufacturing environments. Licensed machinists, CNC programmers, and tooling technicians are the primary installers and users of this insert type.

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR HM90-15 series cutter bodies within the HELIMILL platform. Compatible with workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (ISO material codes P, M, S). Material grades C1, C2, C5, and C6 apply.

Installation Notes

This insert is held in place by a clamping screw and should be seated fully and evenly in the pocket before torquing. Power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key specified by the cutter body manufacturer for the clamping screw. Inspect the pocket seat and screw threads for debris or wear before installing a new insert.
