Iscar 6002472 Milling Insert Gsfn 1.6 IC328 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002472 is a solid carbide milling insert in the GSFN 1.6 IC328 configuration, designed for grooving and parting operations on CNC milling machines. It features a rectangular insert shape with a 0.063-inch inscribed circle and a single cutting edge finished with a TiCN PVD coating. The IC328 grade delivers strong wear resistance and thermal stability when cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. With a positive rake geometry, 7-degree relief angle, and honed cutting edge style, this insert maintains consistent chip control and edge integrity across demanding cutting cycles. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert as part of the SGSF Self Grip cutter series.

This insert is suited for precision grooving applications in production environments where tight tolerances are required on difficult-to-machine materials including steel (P-grade), stainless steel (M-grade), superalloys, and titanium (S-grade). The Self Grip holding method provides secure clamping without additional fasteners, making it practical for high-speed interrupted cuts. It is intended for use in the ISCAR SGSF cutter series. The neutral hand orientation allows flexible positioning in compatible toolholders. Typical applications include face grooving, slot milling, and profiling on turning centers and milling machines where a 0.063-inch cutting width is specified.

Key Features

• TiCN PVD coating improves wear resistance and reduces built-up edge on steel and stainless steel
• Positive rake geometry with honed cutting edge style minimizes cutting forces on difficult alloys
• Self Grip insert holding method eliminates the need for clamping screws in compatible toolbodies
• Single cutting edge with 7-degree relief angle supports clean, controlled grooving cuts
• IC328 grade rated for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (material grades C2, C3, C5, C6)
• Compliant with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards; ANSI Code GSFN 1.6 IC328

Compatibility

Designed for use with the ISCAR SGSF Self Grip cutter series. Compatible toolbodies must accept the GSFN 1.6 insert style with a 0.063-inch inscribed circle. Verify cutter series compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

CNC machinists and tooling technicians install this insert into SGSF-series toolbodies using the Self Grip method — no separate clamping screw is required. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is secured in a vise or fixture before seating or removing inserts. Inspect the toolbody pocket for chips or debris before installation, as contamination can affect seating accuracy and cutting edge performance. Follow the cutter manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut and feed rate parameters for the IC328 grade to avoid premature edge failure.
