Iscar 6002397 Carbide Cutoff Insert 0.25 in Dgn 6303C

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002397 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the Do-Grip series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries manufacturer grade IC354, a PVD-coated carbide grade engineered for stainless steel and steel workpieces. The insert features a 0.2500 inch (6.35 mm) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a 7-degree relief angle, making it suitable for straight, accurate cutoff passes with minimal deflection. The double-ended design extends usable tool life per insert. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with ISO-standard tooling systems will find this insert fits directly into compatible Do-Grip style holders.

This insert is primarily applied in grooving and parting applications on ferrous workpieces, including stainless steel and carbon steel. It is rated under ISO material codes M and P, covering austenitic stainless steels and general steels respectively. Typical install scenarios include production turning, job shop parting operations, and Swiss-type or gang-tool setups where consistent chip control is critical. The C chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in these materials, reducing the risk of chip packing in tight grooving situations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD coating for extended wear resistance on steel and stainless steel
• 0.2500 inch (6.35 mm) cutting width for precise grooving and parting operations
• Neutral lead angle and 7-degree relief angle for straight, low-force cuts
• Double-ended insert geometry doubles usable cutting edges per insert
• C chipbreaker profile optimized for chip control in ferrous materials
• Conforms to ISO 13399 standard for tooling data representation

Compatibility

Designed for use in Do-Grip series clamping-style insert holders that accept DGN-style inserts with a 6303 size code. Compatible primary workpiece materials are stainless steel (ISO code M) and steel (ISO code P).

Installation Notes

Installation of carbide grooving and cutoff inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing any insert. Ensure the Do-Grip holder clamping mechanism is clean and free of chips before inserting; foreign material under the insert seat causes premature edge failure. Verify insert orientation and confirm the active cutting edge is properly positioned before resuming operation.
