Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6000194 Grooving Insert TT8020

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6000194 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to grade TT8020 with a PVD-applied TiCN coating, this insert delivers hard, wear-resistant cutting edges suited to interrupted cuts and continuous grooving passes. The insert measures 0.079 inches in cutting width and 0.790 inches in overall length, with a double-end configuration that extends usable tool life before replacement. A 7-degree relief angle and 0.008-inch corner radius contribute to edge stability across a range of workpiece materials. Clamp-style holding keeps the insert securely seated under high cutting forces.

This insert is intended for machining steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium, covering ISO material groups P, M, and S. It fits the T-Clamp UltraPlus series toolholders using a size 2 insert seat. Typical applications include external grooving, face grooving, and parting on production turning equipment in job shops, aerospace component manufacturing, and general metalworking environments. A neutral cutting direction and neutral hand make it compatible with standard straight-shank and modular tooling setups without requiring a dedicated left- or right-hand holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping procedure. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the clamp securely without overtightening. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert, and verify the insert is fully bottomed in the seat before resuming cutting operations.
