Iscar 6001008 Cutoff Insert Carbide 3.1mm Right Hand

Product Description

The ISCAR 6001008 is a single-end carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 3.1 mm (0.122 inch) cutting width, an 8-degree right-hand lead angle, and a 7-degree relief angle. The insert is manufactured from ISCAR IC20 carbide grade and is supplied in a bright, uncoated finish. Holding is accomplished via a clamp-style insert seat, size 3, compatible with the Self-Grip toolholder series. A 0.20 mm corner radius provides a controlled edge geometry suited to moderate feed rates and a range of workpiece materials.

This insert is intended for cut-off and parting applications in production and job-shop turning environments. The right-hand lead angle configuration suits conventional right-to-left feed direction on standard lathes. The GTR-3 insert style and Self-Grip series designation indicate compatibility with ISCAR Self-Grip clamping toolholders accepting a size-3 insert seat. It is used by machinists and CNC operators across industries requiring repeatable, clean parting cuts in steel, cast iron, and similar machinable materials, as indicated by the C2 and C3 material grade ratings.

Key Features

• 3.1 mm (0.122 inch) cutting width for precision parting and grooving
• IC20 uncoated carbide grade rated for C2 and C3 material groups
• 8-degree right-hand lead angle for standard right-to-left feed direction
• 7-degree relief angle for clearance in cut-off operations
• 0.20 mm corner radius for controlled edge geometry
• Clamp-style holding on size-3 Self-Grip insert seat

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Self-Grip series clamping toolholders accepting a size-3 insert seat and GTR-style insert geometry. Confirm toolholder seat size and series designation before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed with the machine powered off and in a locked-out, tagged-out state. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert securely — do not overtighten with makeshift tools. Verify insert orientation matches the right-hand lead angle requirement of the toolholder before resuming operation. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris that could affect seating and dimensional accuracy.
