Value Collection ICP76412D Turning Insert DCMT32.52 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP76412D is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Conforming to ANSI Insert Code DCMT32.52 and ISO Insert Code DCMT11T308, this insert features a 55-degree diamond (rhombic) shape with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating and a grade designation of TCN55. The positive side clearance geometry and 7-degree relief angle support clean chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. It is installed and replaced by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments where consistent insert geometry is critical to part tolerance and tool life.

This insert is suited for turning operations on steel and stainless steel workpiece materials, as indicated by its Primary Workpiece Material Codes M and P. The screw-lock holding method provides secure clamping in compatible DCMT-style toolholders. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius, this insert is appropriate for moderate depth-of-cut finishing and semi-finishing passes where a sharper nose radius would limit edge strength.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with TiN coating for extended wear resistance on ferrous materials
• 55-degree diamond insert shape for versatile turning and profiling operations
• Positive side clearance reduces cutting forces and heat generation at the edge
• Screw-lock mounting method ensures repeatable seating in compatible toolholders
• ANSI code DCMT32.52 and ISO code DCMT11T308 for straightforward cross-referencing
• T-style chip breaker geometry helps manage chip control during semi-finish passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for DCMT-style screw-lock toolholders accepting ANSI Insert Code DCMT32.52 or ISO Insert Code DCMT11T308 geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of turning inserts is performed by machinists and CNC operators. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to release the clamping screw, seat the new insert fully into the pocket, and torque the screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert to maintain proper geometry and runout.
