Iscar 5698518 Octagon Milling Insert Tialn IC928

Product Description

The ISCAR 5698518 is a solid carbide milling insert in the HELIOCTO series, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling operations. It carries the ANSI designation OEMT 060405AER-76 IC928 and features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. The octagon insert shape provides 8 usable cutting edges per insert, extending tool life and reducing cost per edge. With a positive rake geometry and T-Land cutting edge style, it is engineered for efficient chip formation and reduced cutting forces. The IC928 grade targets steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium applications. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians are the primary installers.

This insert is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium in both production and job-shop environments. The neutral hand designation makes it compatible with standard right-hand cutter bodies in the HELIOCTO platform. It fits insert size code 060405 with an inscribed circle of 0.5618 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 0.0980 inches. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose material removal on ferrous and high-temperature alloy workpieces in CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC tooling technicians or machinists. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver and manufacturer-specified screw for the cutter body to ensure proper insert clamping without overtightening. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new insert.
