Iscar 6000268 Gfn 2.4 IC54 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 6000268 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 2.4 mm (0.0945 inch) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a 7-degree relief angle that supports clean chip evacuation during cut-off work. The insert carries the IC54 manufacturer grade and is uncoated, making it well-suited for applications where coating buildup would be a concern. It is a single-end insert held by a clamp-style toolholder within the ISCAR Self-Grip series. Machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments install this insert as a direct component of a compatible Self-Grip grooving system.

This insert is used in cut-off and parting applications on metal workpieces where dimensional accuracy at the cut face is critical. The neutral hand and neutral lead angle orientation allow it to be applied in standard radial parting operations. The 0.16 mm corner radius (0.0063 inch) helps reduce stress concentration at the cutting edge. It is suited for shop environments running general metalcutting in the C5 material grade range, including steel and similar ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or CNC technician into a compatible Self-Grip clamping toolholder. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all motion is locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert firmly in the holder pocket and verify clamping force is secure before resuming cutting. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edge during installation or storage.
