Value Collection ICC18860E Turning Insert SPG433 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICC18860E is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC and manual lathes. Manufactured to ANSI insert code SPG433 and ISO insert code SPG120412, this insert features a square shape with a 90-degree included angle, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, and a 3/64-inch (0.0469-inch) corner radius. The bright, uncoated finish is suited for applications where coating is undesirable or where the workpiece material performs better with bare carbide. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible toolholders for external turning, facing, and profiling operations.

This insert is intended for use in turning operations on non-ferrous metals, cast iron, and select superalloys and stainless materials, as indicated by its primary workpiece material codes K, M, N, and S. The flat-top chip breaker geometry and positive side clearance support clean chip evacuation at moderate cutting parameters. It fits toolholders designed for SPG-style inserts with clamp-style holding, making it a standard choice in production and job-shop turning setups where a reliable, uncoated carbide grade is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Before indexing or replacing inserts, power down and lock out the machine per applicable safety procedures. Use the correct torque on the clamping screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid insert movement or damage. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for chips or wear before seating a new insert.
