Iscar 6002605 Milling Insert Gsfn 5.2-1.5 IC328 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002605 is a solid carbide milling insert in the GSFN 5.2-1.5 style, designed for high-performance metal removal in demanding machining applications. Manufactured to the IC328 grade with a PVD-applied TiCN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and edge stability when cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. It features a rectangular shape with a neutral hand orientation, a 7-degree relief angle, and a positive rake geometry. The inscribed circle measures 0.2055 inches and the cutting edge effective length is 0.2060 inches. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators on compatible milling cutter bodies.

This insert is suited for milling operations targeting P, M, and S workpiece material groups — steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. It is a single-sided insert with one cutting edge and a honed cutting edge style, making it appropriate for finish and semi-finish milling passes where edge integrity and surface quality are priorities. Typical applications include shoulder milling and slotting operations using compatible Self Grip cutter bodies in the SGSF series. It conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards.

Key Features

• IC328 grade with PVD TiCN coating for wear resistance on steel and superalloys
• Positive rake geometry with honed cutting edge for clean, stable cuts
• 7-degree relief angle suits general milling on hard and tough workpiece materials
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible application in multi-axis setups
• Single-sided, single cutting edge design with Self Grip insert holding method
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for drop-in tooling compatibility

Compatibility

Compatible with ISCAR SGSF series cutter bodies using the Self Grip insert holding method. ANSI code GSFN 5.2-1.5 IC328 and ISO code GSFN 5.2-1.5 apply for cross-referencing toolholder compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Disengage machine power and lock out the spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer — do not overtighten, as solid carbide inserts are brittle and can crack under excessive clamping force. Verify insert seating and pocket cleanliness before resuming operation.
