Value Collection ICP65160B Turning Insert WCMT21.51 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP65160B is a solid carbide turning insert designed for use in CNC and manual lathe operations. Coated with titanium nitride (TiN), this insert offers improved wear resistance and surface hardness compared to uncoated carbide grades. It carries the ANSI insert code WCMT21.51 and ISO insert code WCMT040204, conforming to the WCMT style with an 80-degree trigon shape. Key dimensions include a 0.25-inch inscribed circle, a 3/32-inch insert thickness, and a 1/64-inch corner radius. The TiN coating and C5 material grade make it suited for general-purpose turning of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This insert is intended for use in turning applications on CNC lathes, manual turret lathes, and similar machine tool setups. The WCMT-style geometry with positive side clearance reduces cutting forces, making it effective for finishing and semi-finishing passes. The 80-degree included angle provides a strong cutting edge while maintaining versatility across a range of materials. It is compatible with standard WCMT toolholders that accept the 21.51 size code. Machinists, toolroom operators, and production CNC technicians working with steel, stainless, and compatible alloys will find this insert appropriate for general turning work.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by machinists or toolroom technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing an insert. Use the appropriate torque on the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the seating pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper clamping and edge alignment.
