Iscar 5606097 Milling Insert IC830 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5606097 is a solid carbide milling insert from the HELIDO series, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling in demanding metal-cutting applications. Manufactured to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards, the insert carries an ANSI code of H490 ANKX 170608PNTR IC830 and features an IC830 grade substrate with a dual-layer AlTiN and TiN PVD Sumotec coating. The parallelogram-shaped, double-sided insert provides four usable cutting edges per insert. With a negative rake geometry and helical cutting edge style, it is engineered to manage cutting forces efficiently across a range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium.

This insert is intended for professional machinists and tooling technicians running milling operations in industrial and job-shop environments. It is compatible with the H490 ANK17 cutter series and is secured by a screw-clamp holding method. The PNTR chip breaker geometry suits interrupted and continuous cuts on steel and stainless steel, and the insert is equally capable on superalloys and titanium where coating durability is critical. Typical applications include roughing and semi-finishing passes on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• IC830 grade solid carbide substrate with AlTiN and TiN PVD Sumotec coating for extended tool life on steel and high-temperature alloys
• Double-sided insert with 4 cutting edges, reducing cost per edge
• Helical cutting edge style with negative rake for controlled chip formation and reduced cutting forces
• PNTR chip breaker optimized for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.63 inches with an effective cutting edge length of 0.63 inches
• Right-hand insert orientation; screw-clamped for secure seating in the toolholder pocket

Compatibility

Designed for use with the H490 ANK17 cutter series. Insert size code is 170608. Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards. Refer to the H490 ANK17 toolholder documentation to confirm pocket geometry and screw specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the clamping screw to the recommended engagement — do not over-tighten or under-tighten without referencing the toolholder manual. Inspect the pocket seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert edge.
