Iscar 6000292 Gfn 3 IC54 Carbide Cutoff Insert 3.03mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6000292 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It belongs to the Self-Grip series and carries the IC54 manufacturer grade, indicating an uncoated carbide substrate suited for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The insert features a 3.03 mm (0.1193 inch) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.20 mm corner radius. These geometry characteristics promote clean, consistent cuts during cutoff and grooving work. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert into compatible ISCAR Self-Grip toolholders as part of routine insert replacement.

This insert is intended for cutoff applications in production turning environments, including job shops and high-volume manufacturing cells. The GFN 3 insert style and size code 3 designation place it within a standardized family of parting inserts commonly used on medium-bore workpieces. Its uncoated solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for dry cutting or cutting with coolant where coating adhesion or thermal cycling could otherwise affect edge integrity. A licensed machinist or CNC operator performs the insert swap, typically during scheduled tooling maintenance or edge-wear replacement cycles.

Key Features

• 3.03 mm (0.1193 inch) cutting width for precise parting and grooving
• Solid carbide construction with IC54 grade for consistent edge performance
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for straightforward insert orientation
• 7-degree relief angle reduces rubbing and supports clean chip evacuation
• 0.20 mm corner radius minimizes stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Single-end insert design; replace when edge wear is reached

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for ISCAR Self-Grip series toolholders accepting GFN 3 style inserts. Verify toolholder seat geometry and insert size code before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Use the correct torque wrench or clamping key specified for the Self-Grip toolholder to secure the insert without over-clamping. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or wear before seating the new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures during all tooling changes.
