Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6187820 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6187820 is a double-ended carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the RDC series, grade TT9080. It carries a PVD-applied TiAlN and Titanium Nitride coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cuts. The insert features a neutral lead angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.0787-inch cutting width, making it well-suited for precise parting and grooving operations. A C-style chipbreaker promotes controlled chip evacuation. This insert is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on CNC lathes and turning centers where repeatable groove geometry and clean parting are required.

This insert is designed for grooving and parting applications on steel and stainless steel workpieces. The RDC2 seat size and clamp-style holding method fit compatible Ingersoll RDC-series toolholders. The double-ended design allows two usable cutting edges per insert, reducing per-edge tooling cost in production turning environments. It is appropriate for both light-duty finishing passes and moderate-depth grooving cuts up to 0.5120 inches deep.

Key Features

• Double-ended insert provides two usable cutting edges per unit
• PVD-coated TiAlN and Titanium Nitride finish for wear and heat resistance
• 0.0787-inch cutting width with neutral lead angle for straight, accurate grooves
• C-style chipbreaker for controlled chip flow during grooving and parting
• Maximum depth of cut 0.5120 inches for versatile parting reach
• Rated for steel and stainless steel workpiece materials (ISO P and M classifications)

Compatibility

Designed for use with RDC-series clamp-style toolholders accepting an insert seat size 2. ANSI and ISO code RDC2. Intended for grooving and parting on CNC lathes and turning centers processing steel and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked before seating or removing inserts. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque specifications for the RDC-series clamp. Inspect the cutting edge and chipbreaker for damage before each use and replace the insert before edge failure causes workpiece or toolholder damage.
