Iscar 6002945 Cutoff Insert Dgn 1002J IC908 1mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002945 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the Do-Grip series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC908 manufacturer grade, a PVD-coated submicron carbide substrate with a TiN and TiAlN coating stack that supports high cutting speeds across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 1.00 mm cutting width, a neutral lead angle, a J-type chipbreaker, and a self-grip holding method that locks securely into compatible Do-Grip toolholders without additional clamping hardware.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications in both light production and high-volume turning environments. The IC908 grade is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S, which includes steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hardened materials, and superalloys. The neutral hand and neutral lead angle make it a straight-drop replacement in standard Do-Grip toolholder setups. Machinists and CNC setup technicians working in job shops, aerospace, and general manufacturing will find this insert applicable across a wide range of turning programs.

Key Features

• 1.00 mm cutting width with a 0.15 mm corner radius for tight-tolerance grooving
• IC908 PVD-coated submicron carbide grade with TiN and TiAlN coating for extended tool life
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for standard straight-cut parting setups
• Self-grip insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in Do-Grip toolholders
• J-type chipbreaker optimized for chip control in grooving and parting cuts
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.1180 inches supports a range of groove depths

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Do-Grip series toolholders that accept DGN-style inserts with a 1002 size code. Compatible across ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S per ISO 13399 classification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Disengage spindle power and verify the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket using the self-grip mechanism and confirm it is flush and secure before resuming cutting operations. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut specification for the insert grade and toolholder combination in use.
