Iscar 5606585 Milling Insert Spmt 100408TR-HQ-M IC808

Product Description

The ISCAR 5606585 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the manufacturer designation SPMT 100408TR-HQ-M in grade IC808. It is a square-shaped, single-sided insert with a positive rake angle of 23 degrees and four cutting edges, designed for indexable milling operations. The IC808 grade uses a submicron carbide substrate with a Sumotec PVD multilayer coating of TiAlN, AlTiN, and TiN, giving the insert strong wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. At 0.1670 inches thick with an inscribed circle of 0.4020 inches and a corner radius of 0.0315 inches, this insert fits the HELIQUAD cutter series and is held in place by screw clamping. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians install these inserts on production and job-shop milling machines.

The SPMT 100408TR-HQ-M IC808 is suited for face milling, shoulder milling, and helical interpolation applications on a range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys and titanium, and hard materials. The HQ chip breaker geometry is engineered to control chip evacuation across this broad material range. Maximum depth of cut reaches 0.3150 inches, and the cutting edge effective length is 0.3701 inches, making it appropriate for both roughing and semi-finishing passes in production environments. It carries ANSI and ISO 13399 compliance for tool identification and data interchange.

Key Features

• IC808 submicron carbide grade with Sumotec PVD coating: TiAlN, AlTiN, and TiN multilayer for extended tool life
• Four usable cutting edges on a square single-sided insert body for cost-efficient indexing
• Positive 23-degree rake angle with T-Land cutting edge style reduces cutting forces on difficult alloys
• HQ chip breaker optimized for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.3150 inches with a 0.0315-inch corner radius for controlled edge blending
• ANSI and ISO 13399 compliant for seamless tooling data integration

Compatibility

Compatible with ISCAR HELIQUAD cutter series bodies including FSB, SSB, SPK, F90SP, and E90SP platforms. Insert is right-hand orientation and uses screw-type insert holding. Confirm pocket dimensions and screw size against the specific cutter body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Always disengage the machine spindle and follow lockout/tagout procedures before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct ISCAR torx or hex key for the clamping screw and do not overtighten, as this can fracture the insert body or damage the pocket seating surface. Inspect the pocket seat and clamping screw threads for chips or wear each time inserts are indexed.
