Features Universal chipbreaker for cermet, from finishing to semi-finishing. Three-dimensional rake angles and a double convex boss for excellent cutting performance and surface finish. 5° positive insert (shape V, 35° rhombic) with screw clamping: the slimmest tip in the range, for copy turning and profiling of grooves and radii. SVQB (107.5°) and SVUB (93°) type toolholders.

Available INNOT grades

Grade ISO Coating Composition Application
ITC10 ★ P Cermet Uncoated New-generation, very stable cermet: ideal for finishing low-carbon steels and wherever high surface quality is needed. Hard, compact surface, excellent chemical stability, wear and chipping resistance.
IT115C ★ P PVD AlTiSiN + TiSiN Coated cermet: compared with uncoated cermet it withstands high temperatures better and allows higher cutting speeds. Low-friction nano-gradient coating with excellent adhesion to the substrate: outstanding tool life and stability.

★ Recommended grade for this chipbreaker. Cermet = ceramic-metallic material for high-quality finishes. PVD = physical vapour deposition coating. ISO P = steels.

External turning of steels with cermet (ISO P)

Recommended cutting speed and feed for INNOT cermet grades.

Grade Material Hardness Vc (m/min)
min – recomm. – max		 fn (mm/rev)
ITC10 Low and medium carbon / low and medium alloy steels 150 – 250 HB 100 – 200 – 300 0.10 – 0.30
ITC10 High-carbon alloy steels 350 HB 100 – 150 – 200 0.05 – 0.25
IT115C Low and medium carbon / low and medium alloy steels 150 – 250 HB 200 – 300 – 400 0.10 – 0.30
IT115C High-carbon alloy steels 350 HB 180 – 260 – 320 0.05 – 0.25

Cermet works best in finishing with small depths of cut and stable conditions. IT115C (coated) allows higher speeds than ITC10.

Internal turning (boring) of steels with cermet (ISO P)

Starting values for internal turning with a boring bar, derived from this insert's external turning data: cutting speed −15%, feed −20%.

Grade Material Hardness Vc (m/min)
min – recomm. – max		 fn (mm/rev)
ITC10 Low and medium carbon / low and medium alloy steels 150 – 250 HB 85 – 170 – 255 0.08 – 0.24
ITC10 High-carbon alloy steels 350 HB 85 – 130 – 170 0.04 – 0.20
IT115C Low and medium carbon / low and medium alloy steels 150 – 250 HB 170 – 255 – 340 0.08 – 0.24
IT115C High-carbon alloy steels 350 HB 155 – 220 – 270 0.04 – 0.20

With a boring bar overhang above 3 times the diameter (steel bar) or 5 times (carbide or anti-vibration bar), reduce speed and feed further. Use the bar's internal coolant to clear the chips.
