Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6000212 Grooving Insert Tdc TT8020

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6000212 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision material removal in grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to ANSI and ISO code TDC5, this insert carries a TiCN coating applied via PVD process, delivering a hard, low-friction surface that extends tool life when cutting steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium. The cutting width measures 0.197 inches, the maximum depth of cut reaches 0.945 inches, and the neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation make it straightforward to apply in standard toolholding setups. It is a double-ended insert, providing two usable cutting edges per unit.

This insert fits turning and grooving operations in both production and job-shop environments. The TDC series clamp-style holding method provides secure indexing in compatible TDC-style toolholders. Primary workpiece materials include steel (P), stainless steel (M), super-alloys, and titanium (S). The chipbreaker designation C is integrated into the geometry to support chip control across these material groups. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the typical installers in shop environments where precise groove width and depth repeatability are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with TiCN PVD coating for extended wear resistance on difficult-to-machine materials
• Double-ended insert geometry provides two cutting edges per insert, reducing tooling cost per edge
• 0.197-inch cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 0.945 inches for deep grooving and parting applications
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation for versatile setup in standard TDC-style clamp holders
• C chipbreaker geometry supports reliable chip control in steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium
• 7-degree relief angle and 0.012-inch corner radius contribute to edge stability and surface finish quality

Compatibility

Designed for use in TDC series clamp-style toolholders accepting insert seat size 5 and ANSI/ISO code TDC5. Suitable for grooving and parting operations on steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and confirm the clamp is properly torqued before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris prior to indexing to ensure consistent cutting-edge height and width repeatability.
