Iscar 6001597 Gsfu 3 IC250 Carbide Milling Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 6001597 is a solid carbide milling insert in the GSFU 3 style, designed for high-performance grooving and parting operations on CNC milling machines and turning centers. Manufactured to the ANSI and ISO 13399 standards, this insert features a TiCN and TiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering improved wear resistance and surface hardness in demanding cutting environments. The insert has a neutral hand orientation, a positive rake geometry, and a honed cutting edge style. With an inscribed circle diameter of 0.1181 inches and a corner radius of 0.0079 inches, it suits precise, narrow-groove applications. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians working in production shops are the primary users.

This insert is intended for cutting steel and stainless steel workpieces, corresponding to material grade codes P and M under ISO classification. It fits into the Self Grip cutter system and is compatible with SGSF series cutter bodies. The single-sided, single-cutting-edge design is suited for applications demanding consistent groove width and profile accuracy. It is appropriate for both roughing and finishing passes in light- to medium-duty grooving operations on ferrous materials in job shop and production environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with SGSF series Self Grip cutter bodies. Compatible with steel and stainless steel workpiece materials (ISO material codes P and M). Conforms to ANSI code GSFU-3 IC250 and ISO code GSFU 3.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. The Self Grip holding method requires proper pocket seating; inspect the cutter body pocket for chips or damage before inserting. Do not exceed the cutter body manufacturer's recommended feed and speed parameters for this insert geometry and grade.
