Iscar 6003452 Cutoff Insert TAGR3C6D IC908 3mm Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003452 is a solid carbide cutoff and parting insert designed for precision grooving and cutoff operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a TAGR insert style with a 3.00 mm (0.1180 inch) cutting width, a 6-degree right-hand lead angle, and a 7-degree relief angle. The IC908 grade is applied through a PVD coating process, making it suitable for use across a broad range of workpiece materials. A 0.20 mm corner radius (0.0079 inch) promotes controlled chip formation and edge integrity during high-feed parting passes. This insert is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working in precision metal-cutting environments.

This insert is part of the Tang-Grip series, engineered for secure clamping in compatible Tang-Grip toolholders. The chipbreaker designation C provides effective chip control across universal workpiece materials, including carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, aluminum alloys, and high-temperature alloys. Primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S confirm its wide application range. The right-hand lead angle and single-end configuration make it appropriate for standard parting and cutoff operations in production turning environments, both light-duty and high-volume shop settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD-coated IC908 grade for extended tool life across universal materials
• 3.00 mm (0.1180 inch) cutting width for consistent, precise parting and grooving cuts
• 6-degree right-hand lead angle with 7-degree relief angle for clean entry and reduced cutting forces
• 0.20 mm corner radius minimizes stress concentration and supports fine surface finish at the cutoff groove
• Tang-Grip clamping method provides rigid insert retention and repeatable indexing
• Chipbreaker designation C delivers effective chip evacuation across a broad workpiece material range

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Tang-Grip series toolholders that accept TAGR-style inserts with a size code 3. Compatible with workpiece materials corresponding to ISO material codes H, K, M, P, and S. Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the turning center or lathe spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the Tang-Grip pocket and verify clamp engagement before resuming cutting operations. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping cutting edges prior to use.
