Iscar 5606368 Milling Insert H490 Ankx 120508PNTR IC330

Product Description

The ISCAR 5606368 is a solid carbide milling insert designed for use in high-productivity face and shoulder milling operations. Carrying the ANSI and ISO 13399 designation H490 ANKX 120508PNTR IC330, this insert belongs to the HELIDO series and features a parallelogram shape with a negative rake geometry and helical cutting edge style. The IC330 grade carbide substrate is finished with a PVD-applied TiCN and TiN multilayer coating for wear resistance and edge toughness. With four usable cutting edges and a right-hand orientation, it delivers consistent performance across high-demand applications in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium.

This insert is suited for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces in both production shop and job-shop environments. It is compatible with ISCAR H490 ANK12 cutter bodies and is indexed using a screw-holding method. The PNTR chip breaker geometry aids in chip evacuation during interrupted and continuous cuts. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.4330 inches and an effective cutting edge length of 0.4330 inches, it handles moderate-to-aggressive material removal rates. Machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, energy, and general metalworking applications will find this insert well suited to demanding material groups classified under ISO P, M, and S.

Key Features

• IC330 grade solid carbide with PVD TiCN and TiN coating for extended tool life in difficult materials
• Helical cutting edge style reduces cutting forces and vibration during milling
• Four cutting edges per insert for maximum economy and reduced per-edge cost
• PNTR chip breaker geometry supports reliable chip control in steel and stainless steel
• Negative rake and 85-degree included angle provide strong edge support at the cutting zone
• Double-sided insert design; right-hand orientation

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR H490 ANK12 series milling cutter bodies. Insert is screw-held and follows ANSI and ISO 13399 standards under the designation H490 ANKX 120508PNTR IC330.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the cutter body manufacturer to achieve proper seating torque — refer to the cutter body documentation for fastener specifications. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert.
