Iscar 6002961 DGN2202J IC908 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 6002961 is a double-ended solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the Do-Grip series, identified by insert style DGN and grade IC908. It delivers a 2.2 mm (0.0866 inch) cutting width with a neutral lead angle and a 0-degree lead angle geometry, making it well suited for precise parting and grooving operations. The insert features a J chipbreaker, a PVD coating for enhanced surface hardness and wear resistance, and a 7-degree relief angle. Corner radius measures 0.20 mm (0.0079 inch). Overall length is 19.80 mm (0.7795 inch). The clamp-holding method ensures rigid, repeatable seating in compatible Do-Grip toolholders.

This insert is designed for grooving and parting applications on CNC lathes and turning centers in both production and job-shop environments. The IC908 grade with PVD coating supports cutting across a wide range of workpiece materials, including steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys. Maximum depth of cut reaches 18.00 mm (0.7087 inch), accommodating moderate to deep grooving passes. The double-ended design allows the insert to be indexed, extending usable tool life per insert.

Key Features

• 2.2 mm (0.0866 inch) cutting width for precise groove and parting dimensions
• Double-ended insert geometry allows indexing for extended tool life
• IC908 grade with PVD coating supports universal workpiece material compatibility (ISO P, M, K, H, S)
• J chipbreaker promotes chip control during grooving and parting cuts
• 7-degree relief angle and 0.20 mm corner radius reduce cutting forces and improve surface finish
• Maximum depth of cut 18.00 mm (0.7087 inch) for versatile grooving applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Do-Grip series toolholders that accept DGN-style inserts with a 2202 size code and clamp-style holding. Compatible with workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes H, K, M, P, and S, and material grades C1, C2, C6, and C7. Sold in minimum order quantities of 10 inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is de-energized before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the Do-Grip toolholder pocket and verify the clamp is engaged and torqued per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for debris or damage before indexing to the second cutting edge.
