Value Collection ICP76505C Turning Insert CCMT32.505 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP76505C is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal-cutting operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Coated with titanium nitride (TiN) under the TCN55 grade designation, this insert delivers extended tool life and improved wear resistance when machining steel and stainless steel workpieces. It features an 80-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 0.008-inch corner radius, making it well suited for general-purpose turning, facing, and light finishing passes. The screw-holding method provides secure clamping in standard CCMT-style toolholders.

This insert is intended for use in production and job-shop turning applications involving ferrous and stainless materials, consistent with its primary workpiece material codes M and P. The positive side clearance geometry reduces cutting forces and helps prevent built-up edge during light-to-medium material removal. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10, making it appropriate for toolcrib stocking and high-volume tooling programs. Machinists, CNC programmers, and tooling specialists working in manufacturing environments will find this insert compatible with CCMT toolholder systems in standard production workflows.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with TiN coating (TCN55 grade) for extended wear resistance
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with positive side clearance for reduced cutting forces
• 3/8-inch (0.375-inch) inscribed circle for consistent depth-of-cut capability
• 0.008-inch corner radius suitable for general turning and light finishing
• Screw-mount holding method compatible with standard CCMT toolholders
• T-style chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for CCMT32.505 (ANSI) or CCMT09T302 (ISO) style turning inserts in screw-clamped CCMT toolholders rated for 3/8-inch inscribed-circle carbide inserts.

Installation Notes

Turning inserts should be seated and torqued by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket for chips, debris, or wear before seating the insert. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the TCN55 grade coating on the target workpiece material.
