Iscar 5606000 Milling Insert IC830 Trigon Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5606000 is a solid carbide milling insert designed for high-feed face milling applications in demanding material categories including steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Identified by ANSI code H600 WXCU 05T312HP IC830, this trigon-style insert carries a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN coating classified under ISCAR's Sumotec PVD system. The IC830 grade substrate and HP chip breaker geometry are engineered for aggressive cutting conditions where edge stability and heat resistance are critical. The insert features a negative rake angle, a sharp cutting edge style, and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.2165 inches with a cutting edge effective length of 0.2165 inches.

This insert belongs to ISCAR's HELI6FEED series and is compatible with FWX and EWX cutter bodies. It is suited for high-feed milling operations in CNC machining environments - typically installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production shops handling aerospace, die-mold, and general metal removal work. The double-sided configuration provides six cutting edges per insert, extending tooling cost efficiency in high-volume operations. Right-hand cutting orientation applies. The insert is held in the cutter body by screw clamping.

• IC830 grade with PVD AlTiN and TiN coating (Sumotec PVD classification) for high-temperature resistance
• HP chip breaker geometry optimized for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Negative rake angle with sharp cutting edge style for controlled chip formation
• Double-sided insert design maximizes cutting edges per unit
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards; insert size code 05T312

Compatibility

Compatible with FWX and EWX series cutter bodies in the ISCAR HELI6FEED platform. ANSI catalog designation is H600 WXCU 05T312HP IC830; ISO designation is H600 WXCU 05T312HP.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer when torquing the clamping screw - do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and runout control.
