Iscar 5606009 Milling Insert IC830 Altin Pvd Coated

Product Description

The ISCAR 5606009 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation H490 ANKX 120516PNTR IC830. It belongs to the HELIDO series and is engineered for high-productivity face and shoulder milling operations. The insert features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, four usable cutting edges, and a helical cutting edge style that reduces cutting forces and vibration. The IC830 grade substrate is finished with an AlTiN and TiN PVD coating classified under ISCAR Sumotec technology, providing thermal stability and wear resistance during interrupted and continuous cuts on ferrous and exotic workpiece materials.

This insert is intended for machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium - material application codes P, M, and S. The PNTR chip breaker geometry and negative rake angle make it well suited for medium to finishing passes in production environments. It is installed using a screw-clamping method and is compatible with H490 ANK12 cutter bodies. Machinists and CNC programmers working in aerospace, energy, and general metalworking applications will find this insert appropriate for demanding cutting conditions where coating durability and edge life are priorities.

Key Features

• IC830 grade solid carbide substrate with AlTiN and TiN PVD Sumotec coating for extended wear resistance
• Four cutting edges on a double-sided insert body, maximizing tool economy
• Helical cutting edge style reduces radial cutting forces for stable, vibration-resistant cuts
• PNTR chip breaker geometry optimized for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Negative rake angle and 0-degree relief angle configured for screw-clamped tooling systems
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.433 inches with a corner radius of 0.063 inches (1.60 mm)

Compatibility

Designed for use with H490 ANK12 cutter body series. ANSI code H490 ANKX 120516PNTR IC830; ISO code H490 ANKX 120516PNTR. Complies with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician using the screw-clamping method standard to H490-series cutter bodies. Ensure the cutter body pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing inserts. Follow the cutter manufacturer torque guidelines for the clamping screw, as over-tightening can damage the insert seat.
