Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6000200 Cutoff Insert TDC3 TT8020

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6000200 is a solid carbide cutoff insert in the TDC series, designed for grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries manufacturer grade TT8020 with a PVD-applied TiCN coating, delivering wear resistance suited to steel and stainless steel workpieces. With a 3.00 mm (0.1181 inch) cutting width and a neutral lead angle, this double-ended insert provides consistent, predictable performance on each edge. The C chipbreaker geometry promotes chip control during interrupted cuts and continuous parting passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments will find this insert meets standard ANSI and ISO code TDC3.

This insert is intended for grooving and parting applications on ferrous workpieces, specifically steel and stainless steel material grades C1 through C6. It fits clamp-style toolholders designed for TDC series inserts with an insert seat size of 3. The double-ended configuration allows both edges to be used before the insert is retired, making it practical for high-volume production runs. Typical applications include cutoff operations, external grooving, and shallow plunge cuts where a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.7480 inches are within tolerance requirements.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD TiCN coating for extended tool life on ferrous materials
• 3.00 mm cutting width with neutral lead angle and neutral cutting direction for versatile setups
• Double-ended insert design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• C chipbreaker geometry promotes effective chip evacuation during grooving and parting
• Relief angle of 7 degrees and 0.20 mm corner radius for controlled edge engagement
• Compatible with steel and stainless steel workpieces across material grades C1 through C6

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style toolholders accepting TDC series inserts with insert seat size 3 and ANSI/ISO code TDC3. Suitable for turning and cutoff applications on steel and stainless steel workpieces identified by primary workpiece material codes P and M.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the turret or toolpost de-energized before inserting or indexing any cutting insert. Use the appropriate clamp screw torque as specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten or hand-tighten without a calibrated torx or hex key. Verify insert seating and clamp contact before resuming cutting operations.
