Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6402197 Grooving Insert TT9080

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6402197 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the TT9080 grade with a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating, it delivers thermal resistance and edge durability across demanding cutting cycles. The insert features a 0.039 inch cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 0.138 inches, and a 0.004 inch corner radius. It mounts via screw-holding in compatible TQJJ-style toolholders and carries a positive rake geometry through the J chip breaker design. Metalworking professionals and CNC machinists are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is built for the TQJ27 series and is suited to turning applications involving stainless steel, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys. Its neutral hand orientation allows it to run in standard radial grooving setups without requiring a mirrored toolholder configuration. The 90-degree lead angle keeps cutting forces directed axially, reducing deflection on slender workpieces. Typical use cases include external groove profiling, undercut generation, and face grooving on production turning machines where consistent chip control in gummy or work-hardening materials is required.

Key Features

• TT9080 grade solid carbide substrate with PVD AlTiN and TiN coating for heat resistance and wear life
• 0.039 inch cutting width with 0.004 inch corner radius for fine groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.138 inches suitable for grooving and parting applications
• Positive rake J chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation in stainless steel and superalloys
• Screw-clamped insert holding for rigid, repeatable seating in TQJJ toolholders
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with standard radial grooving setups
• Multi-use capable across grooving, undercutting, and profiling operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with TQJJ-style toolholders in the TQJ27 series. Primary workpiece materials include stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, and superalloys (ISO material codes M and S). Conforms to ISO insert standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tool-crib technicians. Disengage machine power and confirm spindle stop before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for the screw-clamp seat to avoid seat damage or insert movement during cutting. Verify insert seating and toolholder condition before returning the machine to production.
