Iscar 6003123 Grooving Insert PENTA24N239J015J IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003123 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the PENTA insert style designation with grade IC908 and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating. The cutting width measures 2.39 mm (0.0941 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 5.00 mm (0.1969 inches) and a corner radius of 0.15 mm (0.0059 inches). The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for straight-in grooving without a directional bias. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers and users of this insert.

This insert is intended for use in grooving, profiling, and parting applications across a broad range of workpiece materials. The IC908 grade with TiAlN finish supports cutting in universal material categories including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, K, H, and S. It fits toolholders designed for the PENTA 24N insert style and is well suited to medium-to-high production environments where consistent groove geometry and tool life are required.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and changed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert without overtightening. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and accurate groove dimensions.
