Value Collection ICP65040E Turning Insert SPMT432 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP65040E is a solid carbide turning insert in the SPMT style, designed for use in CNC and manual lathe operations requiring reliable, repeatable metal removal. Coated with TiN (titanium nitride) under the TCN55 grade designation, this insert offers enhanced surface hardness and wear resistance compared to uncoated carbide. It features a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, a 1/32-inch corner radius, and a 90-degree square geometry (Insert Shape: S). The positive side clearance and SPMT screw-holding method make it compatible with standard SPMT-style toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert in turning centers and manual lathes for facing, profiling, and general turning operations.

This insert is suited for turning steel and stainless steel workpiece materials, as indicated by the primary workpiece material codes M and P. It is appropriate for both light finishing and moderate roughing passes where a square insert geometry and TiN coating deliver consistent tool life. The ANSI insert code SPMT432 and ISO insert code SPMT120408 allow direct cross-reference when selecting replacement inserts or matching to existing toolholder specifications. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• TiN-coated TCN55 grade solid carbide for improved wear resistance and heat management
• 90-degree square insert shape (ANSI SPMT432 / ISO SPMT120408) for versatile turning geometry
• 0.5-inch (12.70 mm) inscribed circle for robust edge support on standard SPMT toolholders
• 1/32-inch (0.0313-inch) corner radius suited for general turning and light profiling
• Positive side clearance (Clearance Code P) reduces cutting forces and minimizes workpiece deflection
• Screw-holding method (SPMT style) ensures secure, repeatable insert seating

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard SPMT-style screw-clamp toolholders accepting a 432 (ISO 120408) insert size with a 0.2170-inch hole diameter. Suitable for primary workpiece materials coded M (stainless steel) and P (steel) per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and the toolholder is fully secured before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the insert seat and shim (if present) for debris or damage before fitting a new insert.
