Iscar 6002345 Cutoff Insert Dgn 3102J IC20 3.1 Mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002345 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the Cut-Grip series, designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the DGN 3102J geometry with manufacturer grade IC20 and delivers a 3.1 mm (0.122 inch) cutting width with a neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation. The chipbreaker designation is J, and the insert uses a self-grip holding method for secure, tool-free clamping. With an overall length of 20.1 mm (0.791 inches) and a maximum depth of cut reaching 18.01 mm (0.709 inches), this insert handles a wide range of stock removal depths in a single pass. The corner radius measures 0.20 mm (0.008 inches). The IC20 grade is uncoated solid carbide, suited for general-purpose turning across multiple workpiece material groups.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, and S. That range spans cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, steel, stainless steel, and heat-resistant superalloys, making it a versatile choice for job shops running varied material grades. Typical applications include external and internal grooving, parting off, and narrow-width profiling on production turning equipment. It is a single-end insert sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per purchase. Machinists and toolroom technicians running Cut-Grip compatible toolholders will find this insert a direct fit for standard parting and grooving work.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept DGN-style inserts with a 3.1 mm blade width. The multi-use tool designation confirms compatibility across standard Cut-Grip grooving and parting blade systems. Verify toolholder and blade specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with indexable insert tooling. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. The self-grip design seats the insert by pressing it into the blade slot by hand or with a soft mallet — do not use impact tools that could crack the carbide. Inspect the insert pocket and blade seating surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
