Iscar 6001897 GFN3J IC28 Carbide Cutoff Insert 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6001897 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GFN insert style with a J chipbreaker geometry and is manufactured in ISCAR grade IC28, an uncoated carbide grade suited for non-ferrous materials. The insert delivers a 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches) cutting width, a 0-degree lead angle with neutral hand orientation, and a 7-degree relief angle. A 0.25 mm (0.0098 inches) corner radius helps control edge strength and surface finish. This single-end insert installs into Self-Grip clamp-style toolholders and is used by machinists and CNC operators in production turning environments.

This insert is rated for grooving and parting applications with aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials, corresponding to ISO material code N. Its uncoated IC28 carbide substrate provides the sharp cutting edge geometry that non-ferrous materials require to avoid built-up edge. Typical applications include external grooving, recessing, and full parting-off on bar-fed or chucked workpieces in both job shop and production environments. The J chipbreaker promotes effective chip control at the groove floor. This insert is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 10 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Self-Grip series clamp-style toolholders accepting GFN-style inserts with a size code 3 insert seat. Verify toolholder seat size and insert style code before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and all motion is locked out before accessing the toolholder. Use the appropriate ISCAR Self-Grip clamping tool to seat and secure the insert fully before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the insert grade or chipbreaker application range for the target workpiece material.
