Value Collection ICP-70030M Turning Insert CNMG432P TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP-70030M is a solid carbide turning insert designed for single-point turning, boring, and facing operations on CNC and manual lathes. It conforms to ANSI insert code CNMG432 and ISO code CNMG120408, featuring an 80-degree diamond (rhombic) shape with a negative side clearance. The inscribed circle measures 0.5 inches, the corner radius is 0.03125 inches (1/32 inch), and the insert thickness is 0.1875 inches (3/16 inch). Grade TCN55 carbide provides the wear resistance and edge integrity required for demanding turning applications. This insert is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

The ICP-70030M suits intermediate to finishing cuts on steel and stainless steel workpieces, corresponding to primary workpiece material codes P and M. The CNMG insert style with clamp-and-pin holding method makes it compatible with standard CNMG toolholders used in production turning cells, job shops, and maintenance machine shops. The G-style chip breaker geometry promotes chip control during moderate feed and depth-of-cut operations, making this insert a practical choice for general-purpose turning on ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide grade TCN55 for wear resistance on steel and stainless workpieces
• 80-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Negative side clearance (N) for increased edge strength and stability under interrupted cuts
• G-style chip breaker promotes reliable chip evacuation at moderate feeds
• Clamp and pin holding method ensures secure seating in CNMG-compatible toolholders
• Meets ANSI CNMG432 and ISO CNMG120408 dimensional standards for broad toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard CNMG-style toolholders accepting an ANSI CNMG432 or ISO CNMG120408 insert. Suited for primary workpiece material codes P (steel) and M (stainless steel) per ISO cutting material classification. Material grade C5 designation applies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered off and in a locked-out state. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamp pin seat are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Torque the clamp screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification only. Inspect the cutting edge for chipping before each use and index or replace the insert if edge integrity is compromised.
