Iscar 3334955 PENTA24N100PF IC30N Grooving Insert 1mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 3334955 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the PentaCut series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. Carrying the IC30N uncoated carbide grade, this insert delivers a 1.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 4.50 mm. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with a wide range of toolholders without requiring handed setups. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees and the PF chip breaker geometry combine to control chip flow and reduce cutting forces, particularly when working in harder or more demanding workpiece materials.

This insert is intended for machining hard materials, stainless steel, and steel, corresponding to ISO material groups H, M, and P. It fits standard PentaCut toolholder systems and is suited for production turning environments where consistent grooving depth and width tolerances are critical. Machinists and tooling specialists working in job shops or production facilities will find this insert applicable across a range of groove-width-sensitive applications. The PF chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing and semi-finishing passes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping hardware specified for the PentaCut toolholder to avoid insert rocking or improper seating. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before each insert change to maintain dimensional accuracy.
