Iscar 6002436 Gsfn 4 IC328 Milling Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002436 is a solid carbide milling insert in the GSFN 4 style, designed for high-performance grooving and parting operations on CNC milling equipment. It carries the IC328 manufacturer grade with a TiCN coating applied via PVD process, which provides enhanced wear resistance and edge stability at elevated cutting speeds. The insert measures 0.1591 inches in inscribed circle diameter with an effective cutting edge length of 0.1590 inches and a corner radius of 0.0118 inches. The neutral hand orientation and positive rake geometry make it suitable for a wide range of metal-removal applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators handling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces are the primary end users for this insert.

This insert is part of the ISCAR Self Grip series and is compatible with SGSF cutter bodies. It is intended for single-sided use with one cutting edge per insert. The included angle is 90 degrees, and the insert shape is rectangular, making it well suited for face grooving, axial grooving, and parting applications in both production shop and job-shop environments. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, and S. The insert conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards and carries material grades C2, C3, C5, and C6.

Key Features

• IC328 grade solid carbide with PVD TiCN coating for wear resistance on difficult-to-machine alloys
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and supports clean edge engagement
• Self Grip insert holding method for secure, repeatable clamping without additional screws
• Honed cutting edge style for improved edge toughness on interrupted cuts
• Neutral hand orientation allows use in both left- and right-hand cutter configurations
• Compliant with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for interchangeability documentation

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR SGSF series cutter bodies. Conforms to ANSI code GSFN 4 IC328 and ISO code GSFN 4. Compatible with Self Grip tooling systems accepting inserts in the GSFN 4 size range with an inscribed circle between 0.0000 and 0.2500 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with indexable insert tooling. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. The Self Grip clamping system requires no additional fasteners, but the cutter body slot should be inspected for wear or debris before insert seating. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
