Iscar 6003524 Cutoff Insert PENTA34N300C020 IC908 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003524 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the PentaCut series, manufactured to the PENTA34N300C020 geometry with an IC908 grade coating. It features a 3.00 mm (0.1180 inch) cutting width and is held in place by a screw-clamping method. The IC908 grade uses a PVD coating applied over a submicron carbide substrate, giving it wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. A 0.20 mm corner radius and neutral lead angle make this insert suitable for straight parting and grooving operations without directional bias. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians are the primary installers and operators.

This insert is designed for grooving and parting applications on CNC lathes and turning centers. Its universal primary workpiece material rating covers steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), heat-resistant superalloys (S), and hardened materials (H), making it a versatile choice for job shops running varied material schedules. Maximum depth of cut is 10.00 mm (0.3937 inch). The PentaCut series targets high-productivity cutoff work where insert rigidity and secure clamping are priorities.

Key Features

• 3.00 mm cutting width with 0.20 mm corner radius for clean, precise parting cuts
• IC908 PVD-coated submicron carbide grade for extended tool life across universal workpiece materials
• Screw-clamping insert holding method for rigid, repeatable seating in PentaCut toolholders
• Neutral hand and neutral lead angle — no directional restriction for standard parting setups
• Maximum depth of cut 10.00 mm supports grooving and full parting on small to mid-size bar stock
• Conforms to ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR PentaCut series screw-clamp toolholders that accept the PENTA 34N insert style. Compatible with workpiece material groups H, K, M, P, and S per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturers specified torque when tightening the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Confirm insert is fully seated against all locating surfaces before resuming cutting operations.
