Iscar 3302934 GEMI2002N IC808 Grooving Insert 2mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 3302934 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the GEMI2002N geometry in the IC808 grade, this insert delivers a 2 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.80 mm. The IC808 grade is a fine-grained carbide substrate applied with a PVD-deposited AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating, providing thermal resistance and edge stability at elevated cutting speeds. The positive rake angle of 8 degrees reduces cutting forces and supports clean chip formation. This insert is part of the ISCAR Cut-Grip series and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This insert is suited for light grooving, parting, and profiling applications across a broad range of workpiece materials. The IC808 grade targets universal material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S, which include hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon steels, and high-temperature alloys. Typical installation scenarios include production turning environments where consistent groove width and surface finish are required at moderate to high cutting speeds.

Key Features

• 2 mm cutting width with 0.20 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• IC808 fine-grained solid carbide grade with PVD AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN coating for extended tool life
• Positive rake angle of 8 degrees reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation
• Compatible with ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S for universal workpiece coverage
• GEMI2002N geometry with N-style chip breaker configuration
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for seamless CAM integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series grooving toolholders and blade systems that accept GEMI-style inserts of size code 2002. Verify toolholder pocket specifications before installation.

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. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamping screw, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
