Iscar 5698901 Milling Insert Apkt 100304PDR IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5698901 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI designation HM90 APKT 100304PDR IC908. It belongs to the HELI2000 series and is designed for use in HM90-10 compatible milling cutters. The insert features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry, and a honed cutting edge style. A TiAlN coating applied via PVD process provides wear resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert is 0.139 inches thick and 0.266 inches wide, with a corner radius of 0.0157 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 0.386 inches. Two cutting edges are available per insert, and the holding method is screw-style mounting.

This insert is suited for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H. It is a right-hand insert intended for face milling, shoulder milling, and similar operations where the HM90-10 cutter series is specified. Typical applications span both production and maintenance machining environments. The PDR chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation across these material groups. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• TiAlN PVD coating for extended tool life on ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Honed cutting edge style improves edge stability and reduces micro-chipping
• PDR chip breaker promotes reliable chip control across multiple material types
• Two usable cutting edges per insert lowers effective cost per edge
• Screw-style insert holding ensures secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with HM90-10 series milling cutters. ANSI code: HM90 APKT 100304PDR IC908. ISO code: HM90 APKT 100304PDR. Compatible with HELI2000 series tooling as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician using the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the insert screw securely without overtightening. Ensure the cutter body pocket and seating surface are free of chips and debris before seating the insert. Confirm insert hand orientation — this is a right-hand insert — matches the cutter body configuration before use. Always verify spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts on the machine.
