Iscar 6002368 Cutoff Insert Dgr 4003C-4D IC354 3.99mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002368 is a solid carbide cutoff and parting insert from the Cut-Grip series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries manufacturer grade IC354, a PVD-coated substrate finished with TiN and TiCN coatings for wear resistance and edge retention at elevated cutting temperatures. It features a 3.99 mm cutting width (0.1570 inches), a 0.30 mm corner radius (0.012 inches), and a 4-degree right-hand lead angle. The double-ended configuration provides two usable cutting edges per insert. This part is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

The 6002368 is suited for parting and grooving applications on stainless steel and carbon steel workpieces. The IC354 grade with PVD coating is particularly well matched to ISO material groups M (stainless steel) and P (steel), where edge stability and resistance to built-up edge are priorities. The self-grip holding method seats the insert directly into compatible Cut-Grip toolholders without additional clamping hardware. Typical use cases include OD parting on bar stock, groove profiling, and face grooving on turned components in both light and medium-duty cutting conditions.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC354 PVD-coated grade (TiN and TiCN) for extended tool life on steel and stainless steel
• 3.99 mm cutting width with a 0.30 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• 4-degree right-hand lead angle promotes chip deflection and reduces parting deflection forces
• Double-ended insert design provides two cutting edges per unit
• Self-grip holding method seats securely in Cut-Grip series toolholders without supplemental clamps
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept the DGR 4003 insert seat. Compatible with ISO material groups M (stainless steel) and P (steel) per the IC354 grade designation. Refer to the ISCAR Cut-Grip toolholder selection guide to confirm pocket compatibility before ordering. Minimum order quantity is 10 inserts; inserts are packaged individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC tooling technicians or machinists. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and all motion is locked out before seating or removing inserts. The self-grip pocket should be inspected for chips or debris before inserting; a damaged pocket can cause insert rocking and premature edge failure. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping guidance where applicable, and verify insert seating visually before resuming cutting.
