Iscar 5605348 Milling Insert IC830 Square 8-edge

Product Description

The ISCAR 5605348 is a solid carbide milling insert from the HELIDO series, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling in demanding metal-cutting applications. Carrying ANSI/ISO designation S845 SXCU 160608AD-RMM in grade IC830, this double-sided, square-shaped insert features 8 cutting edges and a negative rake geometry. The PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN Sumotec coating delivers thermal and wear resistance suited to interrupted cuts and high-feed operations. Thickness measures 0.2930 inches and width measures 0.6437 inches. Installed by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC milling setups targeting difficult-to-cut materials.

This insert is intended for milling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium - material application codes P, M, and S. It seats in compatible S845 F45SX series cutter bodies using a screw-holding method. The helical cutting edge style and RMM chip breaker geometry work together to manage chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces in both roughing and semi-finishing passes. Typical applications include shoulder milling and face milling on CNC machining centers in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• Double-sided square insert with 8 usable cutting edges for extended tool life per insert
• IC830 grade with PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN Sumotec coating for wear resistance on hard and abrasive workpieces
• Helical cutting edge style with RMM chip breaker for efficient chip control and reduced cutting forces
• Negative rake geometry with 90-degree included angle for stable, predictable engagement
• Maximum depth of cut 0.2810 inches (7.15 mm) with a corner radius of 0.0315 inches (0.80 mm)
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for tooling interoperability

Compatibility

Designed for use with S845 F45SX series cutter bodies. Insert is right-hand orientation and uses screw-style holding. Verify cutter body pocket geometry matches insert size code 160608 before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the cutter body is fully de-energized and spindle is locked before seating or replacing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torque wrench and clamping screw for the pocket style to avoid over-torquing the insert clamp screw. Inspect the pocket seating surface for chips or debris before placing the insert to ensure full, flat contact.
