Iscar 6002579 Carbide Cutoff Insert 3.1 Mm Do-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002579 is a solid carbide cutoff insert from the Do-Grip series, designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured under grade IC328 with a PVD coating, this double-ended insert provides a 3.1 mm cutting width and a 15-degree right-hand lead angle. The IC328 grade is engineered for cutting superalloys and other difficult-to-machine materials, making it well-suited for aerospace, medical, and high-performance manufacturing environments. A licensed machinist or toolroom technician typically specifies and installs this insert.

This insert fits Do-Grip cutoff toolholders and is intended for cut-off applications on materials including superalloys (ISO code S) as well as steel and stainless classifications (ISO codes P and M). The right-hand lead angle geometry directs cutting forces and chip flow away from the workpiece shoulder. The JS chipbreaker profile promotes controlled chip evacuation at moderate to high feed rates. With a maximum depth of cut of 18.00 mm and an overall insert length of 20.60 mm, it covers a wide range of bar stock diameters in production turning.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC328 PVD-coated grade for superalloy and steel cutting
• 3.1 mm cutting width with 15-degree right-hand lead angle for directional chip control
• JS chipbreaker for effective chip breaking and evacuation in tough materials
• Double-ended insert design extends tool life per unit cost
• Maximum depth of cut of 18.00 mm suits medium to large bar diameters
• Meets ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Do-Grip series cutoff and grooving toolholders that accept DGR-style inserts with a 3100 size code. Confirm toolholder pocket specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered off and all axes locked. Use the correct ISCAR clamping key or wrench to secure the insert without over-torquing the clamp screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when changing cutting inserts on live tooling systems.
