Iscar 5605176 Milling Insert IC950 Tialn Helimill

Product Description

The ISCAR 5605176 is a solid carbide milling insert designed for use in HELIMILL HM90 face and shoulder milling cutters. Carrying the ADKT 1505PDR HM90 IC950 designation, this single-sided, right-hand insert features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle and a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. The IC950 grade delivers wear resistance and thermal stability when cutting steel and cast iron. With a positive rake geometry and honed cutting edge style, the insert promotes clean shearing action and reduced cutting forces. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible HM90-15 series cutter bodies for high-efficiency milling operations.

This insert is intended for milling steel and cast iron workpiece materials, covering material grades C1, C2, C3, C5, and C6. It is suited for both roughing and finishing passes in production environments where consistent tool life and predictable edge performance are required. The ADKT 1505PDR geometry is optimized for the HM90-15 cutter series, and the screw-type insert holding method ensures secure seating during high-feed operations. This insert is commonly used in job shops, aerospace component machining, and general metalworking facilities running CNC vertical or horizontal machining centers.

Compatibility

Designed for use with the HM90-15 cutter series. The ANSI code ADKT 1505PDR HM90 IC950 and ISO code ADKT 1505PDR HM90 identify this insert within the HELIMILL platform. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. 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 to seat the clamping screw. Inspect the cutter pocket seat and screw threads for debris or damage before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and runout.
