Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6000167 Carbide Cutoff Insert 2mm

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6000167 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. It carries the TDJ2 insert style designation and is manufactured in grade TT8020 with a PVD-applied TiCN coating for wear resistance and thermal stability. The cutting width measures 2 mm (0.0787 inches) with a neutral lead angle and a 7-degree relief angle. The double-ended configuration and J-series chipbreaker geometry make it a practical, multi-use option for production environments where consistent chip control is required.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications on steel and stainless steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material codes P and M. It fits into clamp-style TDJ series toolholders and performs in both roughing and finishing passes within its rated depth-of-cut range. Typical install scenarios include high-volume turning operations where insert changeover speed and repeatable edge geometry are priorities. The neutral cutting direction allows use in both right-hand and left-hand configurations depending on the toolholder setup.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD TiCN coating for extended tool life on ferrous materials
• 2 mm cutting width with 0.20 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut of 19.00 mm (0.748 inches) for deep grooving and parting applications
• Double-ended insert design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• J-series chipbreaker geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during parting operations
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand designation for flexible toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with clamp-style TDJ series toolholders accepting size 2 insert seats. Compatible with ANSI and ISO code TDJ2. Rated for material grades C1 through C6 and primary workpiece materials including steel and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked before seating or changing inserts. Use the appropriate clamp and torque tool as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for chips or damage before securing the new insert to ensure proper seating and edge alignment.
