Iscar 6000263 Cutoff Insert Gfn 2 IC54 2.2mm Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6000263 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GFN 2 insert style with a manufacturer grade of IC54 and delivers a cutting width of 2.2 mm (0.0866 inches). The IC54 grade is an uncoated carbide suited for consistent chip control and edge retention in cut-off applications. The insert seats into a Self-Grip style toolholder using a clamp holding method, providing rigid clamping without the need for additional locking hardware. Relief angle is 7 degrees. This is a single-end insert, meaning it is designed for one active cutting edge per piece.

This insert is intended for metal cutting professionals working in production machining, job shops, and maintenance environments. It is applied to external cut-off and grooving operations on turning equipment. The neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation make it well suited for straight plunge parting cuts on a wide range of workpiece materials. The C5 material grade indicates suitability for general-purpose machining of steels and cast irons at moderate cutting conditions. These inserts are sold individually but carry a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation of cutoff inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all motion is locked out before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screws specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert; do not overtighten by hand or with non-specified tools. Verify insert seating and clearance before resuming cutting operations.
