Iscar 6000278 Cutoff Insert Gfn 2J IC20 1.99mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6000278 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 1.99 mm (0.0783 inch) cutting width and a neutral lead angle of 0 degrees, making it suitable for straight cutoff work without directional bias. The J-style chipbreaker promotes chip control across a range of materials. With a 7-degree relief angle and a 0.16 mm corner radius, this single-end insert fits the ISCAR Self-Grip clamping system. It is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

This insert is intended for use in metal-cutting environments where consistent parting depths and clean cutoff surfaces are required. The IC20 uncoated carbide grade is rated for universal application across multiple workpiece material categories, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. It is commonly installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on production turning equipment where the Self-Grip toolholder system is already in use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the Self-Grip toolholder pocket is clean and free of chips before clamping the insert. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for this insert size. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable machine tool manufacturer guidelines when setting up parting operations.
