THE ISO designation system for indexable inserts
The ISO designation system for indexable inserts (ISO 1832) is a standardized system to name an indexable insert.
The system is designed so that each important feature and dimension of the insert is shown using a code system. This becomes the name of the insert.
This system has several avantages:
- Unique naming of an indexable insert (supplier independent)
- All important features and dimensions are clearly stated in the name
- Some code positions relate to the insert carrier in which the insert can be mounted
It's important to remember that the ISO designation system is not a system that standardizes the quality of the insert. Neither the carbide grade nor the cutting geometry is standardized in this designation system.
This is an example for milling inserts. For other applications, you can refer to the relevant Machining Navigator.
