Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6050227 Grooving Insert Carbide

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6050227 is a single-ended, left-hand carbide grooving insert designed for grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to ANSI/ISO designation TIMC4.86L, it carries a TT5100 manufacturer grade and a CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN for extended wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. The insert measures 0.189 inches in cutting width with a 0.011-inch corner radius and a 6-degree lead angle. A self-clamping holding method locks the insert securely in compatible TIMC-style toolholders without additional fasteners. Total package weight is 0.02 pounds.

This insert is suited for production turning environments where consistent groove geometry and tool life are priorities. The TT5100 CVD-coated carbide grade is optimized for cutting steel as its primary workpiece material, with cast iron and hard materials listed as secondary applications. The left-hand cutting direction and left-hand insert orientation make it the correct choice for right-to-left infeed grooving setups. It is installed and changed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in job shop and high-volume production settings.

Key Features

• TIMC4.86L ANSI and ISO designation for precise toolholder matching
• 0.189-inch cutting width with 0.011-inch corner radius for defined groove geometry
• CVD multilayer coating (TiCN, Al2O3, TiN) for heat and wear resistance
• Left-hand cutting direction and lead angle for right-to-left grooving applications
• Self-clamping insert seat - no separate screw or pin required
• Multi-use design rated for both grooving and parting operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in TIMC-series self-clamping toolholders with an insert seat size of 4, accepting inserts with a 0.189-inch width and TIMC4.86L geometry. Confirm toolholder designation matches the TIMC4.86L insert style before ordering.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the TIMC-series pocket and verify self-clamping engagement before resuming cuts. Handle carbide inserts with care - edges chip under impact and contact with hard surfaces.
