Iscar 3337223 Grooving Insert IC1008 1mm Pentacut

Product Description

The ISCAR 3337223 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the PentaCut series, designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the PENTA17N100P010P insert style with a 1.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm. The IC1008 grade features a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN multilayer coating that resists heat and wear across a broad range of workpiece materials. The positive rake angle of 10 degrees and the P chip breaker geometry combine to control chip flow and reduce cutting forces. This insert is installed and replaced by CNC machinists and tool crib technicians in production and job-shop environments.

The 3337223 is suited for grooving and parting on universal workpiece materials spanning ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S, making it applicable across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and superalloys. It is a right-hand insert held by screw clamping and is designed for use in compatible ISCAR PentaCut toolholders. The multi-use designation means a single insert edge can be indexed or repositioned, reducing per-edge tooling cost in high-volume turning applications. Typical applications include O-ring grooves, snap-ring grooves, and cutoff operations on bar stock and chucked workpieces.

Key Features

• 1.00 mm cutting width with a 0.10 mm corner radius for tight-tolerance groove profiles
• Maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm, with a depth-of-cut range of 3.00 to 4.00 mm
• IC1008 grade with PVD TiAlN and TiN coating for extended wear life and thermal resistance
• Positive 10-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and aids chip evacuation
• P chip breaker geometry for reliable chip control across universal workpiece materials
• Screw-clamped insert holding for repeatable seating and precise edge location

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR PentaCut series toolholders that accept the PENTA 17N insert style. Compatible with ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S as noted in the manufacturer specifications. Verify toolholder and clamping screw compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified for the clamping screw torque as defined in the ISCAR PentaCut toolholder documentation — do not over-tighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure accurate edge location.
