Iscar 6000006 Grooving Insert GFF2 IC20 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6000006 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Self-Grip series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This insert carries the IC20 uncoated carbide grade and features a 0.0827-inch (2.10 mm) cutting width with a neutral hand orientation. A 7-degree positive rake angle reduces cutting forces and supports clean chip formation across a range of workpiece materials. The insert seats and locks via the Self-Grip holding method, which provides rigid tool engagement without external clamping hardware. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on compatible grooving toolholders.

This insert is suited for universal application across multiple material families, including hardened materials, cast iron, steel alloys, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys, consistent with its H, K, M, N, and S primary workpiece material codes. The IC20 uncoated grade is well suited to light finishing and medium grooving cuts where edge sharpness and dimensional accuracy are priorities. Typical installation scenarios include OD grooving, face grooving, and parting on production turning equipment. Each package contains one insert; the minimum order quantity is 10 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the toolholder pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before pressing the insert into the Self-Grip seat. Verify insert seating and orientation visually before resuming cutting operations.
