Iscar 6002502 GFR3-8D IC328 Carbide Cutoff Insert 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002502 is a single-end carbide cutoff and parting insert in the GFR style, designed for use in Self-Grip toolholding systems. It features a 3.00 mm (0.1181 inch) cutting width and an IC328 PVD-coated carbide grade optimized for machining superalloys and difficult-to-cut materials. The insert carries an 8-degree lead angle (right hand), a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.20 mm corner radius, making it suitable for demanding parting and grooving operations where edge stability and surface finish are critical. Installation and clamping are handled by a clamp-style holding method consistent with the Self-Grip system design.

This insert is intended for CNC turning centers and manual lathes equipped with compatible Self-Grip cutoff toolholders. The IC328 grade targets superalloy workpieces as its primary application, with material grade designations of C2, C3, C5, and C6, making it applicable across a range of metalcutting scenarios including stainless steels and high-temperature alloys. The chipbreaker style is designated C. This insert is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• IC328 PVD-coated carbide grade engineered for superalloy and high-temperature alloy cutting
• 3.00 mm (0.1181 inch) cutting width for precise parting and grooving
• 8-degree right-hand lead angle with 7-degree relief angle for controlled chip flow
• 0.20 mm corner radius for consistent edge geometry and surface finish
• Self-Grip clamping system compatibility for secure, repeatable insert seating
• Single-end insert design; conforms to ISO 13399 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Self-Grip series cutoff toolholders that accept GFR-style inserts with an insert seat size of 3. Specific toolholder compatibility should be verified against ISCAR Self-Grip system documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before handling inserts. Use the appropriate ISCAR clamp key or torx driver as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat and secure the insert without overtightening. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Adhere to machine shop safety protocols and relevant tooling manufacturer guidelines when setting cutting parameters for superalloy applications.
