Iscar 6000034 Grooving Insert GFF6 IC20 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6000034 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the GFF6 configuration, designed for use in Self-Grip style toolholders on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries manufacturer grade IC20, an uncoated carbide grade suited for universal workpiece material applications across a wide range of metals and non-metals. The insert has a neutral hand orientation, a 0.2362 inch (6.00 mm) cutting width, a corner radius of 0.0098 inches (0.25 mm), and a positive rake angle of 7 degrees. It is installed and used by machinists and toolroom professionals performing grooving, parting, and recessing operations.

This insert is intended for grooving and parting applications on a variety of workpiece materials including steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and superalloys, as indicated by primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, and S. The Self-Grip holding method provides secure mechanical clamping without a top clamp, which maintains chip clearance and allows close-proximity grooving. The GFF6 insert size code 6 fits Self-Grip compatible toolholders dimensioned for that insert size. It is suited for both production and maintenance turning environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's seating and clamping procedure for Self-Grip style inserts. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Verify the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert. Do not force the insert into the pocket; proper seating depends on the Self-Grip mechanism engaging correctly.
