Iscar 6002860 Gfn 6B IC328 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002860 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the Self-Grip series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC328 manufacturer grade with a PVD coating, delivering hardness and edge toughness suited for superalloy and general metal cutting applications. The insert features a 0.2524 inch (6.41 mm) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.0157 inch (0.40 mm) corner radius. The B chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation during deep grooving and parting cuts. This insert is a single-end design held by a clamp-style toolholder.

This insert is intended for grooving and parting applications in production turning environments, including aerospace and general machining shops working with superalloys, steels, and other ISO-classified workpiece materials. The IC328 PVD-coated grade is specifically suited for primary workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes M, P, and S. It fits Self-Grip series toolholders that accept the GFN 6B insert style and size code 6 geometry. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine fully powered down and spindle locked. Use the manufacturer-recommended torque driver or clamping key for the Self-Grip holder to seat the insert securely without over-tightening the clamp. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting cutting parameters for superalloy workpieces.
