Iscar 5606362 Milling Insert IC330 Solid Carbide Trigon

Product Description

The ISCAR 5606362 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation H600 WXCU 05T312HP IC330. It belongs to ISCAR's HELI6FEED series and is designed for high-feed face milling applications. The insert features a trigon (80-degree included angle) shape with a negative rake geometry and a double-sided configuration that provides 6 cutting edges per insert. The IC330 grade uses a PVD-applied TiCN and TiN coating optimized for cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The HP chip breaker geometry supports sharp-edge cutting performance across these demanding workpiece materials. Licensed HVAC and industrial maintenance techs will recognize this as a precision consumable for CNC milling operations.

This insert is suited for use in FWX and EWX cutter bodies within the ISCAR HELI6FEED system. Typical applications include high-feed roughing and semi-finishing of steel and stainless steel components in production machining environments. The insert is appropriate for both horizontal and vertical machining centers. Primary workpiece material codes are P (steel), M (stainless steel), and S (superalloys and titanium), with a secondary application code of S. The screw-holding method requires compatible HELI6FEED toolholders from the FWX or EWX cutter series.

Key Features

• Double-sided trigon insert with 6 usable cutting edges per insert, reducing tooling cost per edge
• IC330 grade with PVD TiCN and TiN coating for wear resistance on steel, stainless steel, and superalloys
• HP chip breaker delivers sharp cutting edge geometry suited for difficult-to-machine materials
• Negative rake and 0-degree relief angle provide robust edge support during high-feed passes
• Right-hand cutting orientation; screw-held seating for positive insert location in the cutter pocket
• Compliant with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for insert identification and tooling data interchange

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR FWX and EWX series cutter bodies in the HELI6FEED system. Insert size code is 05T312; confirm cutter pocket specifications match before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and torque procedures should follow the cutter body manufacturer's guidelines for screw-held carbide inserts. De-energize and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key specified for the cutter body's clamping screw to avoid seat damage. Inspect the pocket seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert.
