Iscar 3334953 Grooving Insert Pentacut IC30N Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 3334953 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the PentaCut series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the ISO designation PENTA 24N075PF005 IC30N and features an uncoated IC30N carbide grade with a positive rake geometry. The cutting width is 0.75 mm (0.0300 inches) and the maximum depth of cut is 2.5 mm (0.0980 inches). The PF chip breaker promotes controlled chip evacuation in tight grooving operations. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments.

The 3334953 is suited for grooving applications on hard materials, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material groups H, M, and P. It is appropriate for both light finishing and moderate grooving passes within its rated depth range of 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm (0.0750 to 0.1000 inches). The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard straight grooving tool holders in the PentaCut system. It is a multi-use insert intended for production-volume turning environments where consistent groove geometry and dimensional repeatability are required.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR PentaCut series grooving tool holders that accept PENTA 24N style inserts. Compatible with applications on hard materials (ISO H), stainless steel (ISO M), and steel (ISO P) workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully stopped and the spindle locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate ISCAR PentaCut insert key or torx wrench specified for the holder to seat and secure the insert. Do not overtighten the clamping screw. Inspect the insert seat and clamping pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and accurate positioning.
