Iscar 6003584 Tang-grip Cutoff Insert IC808 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003584 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the Tang-Grip series, designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a 2.01 mm (0.0790 inch) cutting width with a neutral lead angle and a neutral hand orientation, making it suitable for straight-in parting cuts. The IC808 grade uses a PVD-applied TiN and TiAlN coating over a submicron carbide substrate, providing wear resistance and edge toughness across a broad range of workpiece materials. The TAGN2J chipbreaker geometry and self-grip holding method secure the insert mechanically without additional clamping hardware.

This insert is used in precision turning applications including cutoff, parting, and external grooving. It is rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S — meaning it handles steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys within appropriate cutting parameters. Typical install scenarios include production turning on CNC equipment where repeatable part-off dimensions are required. The 0.20 mm corner radius (0.0080 inch) limits burr formation at the parted edge.

Key Features

• IC808 PVD-coated grade with TiN and TiAlN layers over a submicron carbide substrate for extended tool life
• 2.01 mm cutting width with neutral lead angle for straight parting and grooving cuts
• Tang-Grip self-grip holding method — no separate clamp required for insert retention
• TAGN2J chipbreaker geometry promotes chip control during cutoff operations
• Universal material compatibility covering ISO groups H, K, M, P, and S
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tooling system integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Tang-Grip series cutoff and grooving toolholders that accept TAGN2 style inserts. Verify holder bore and insert seat dimensions against the Tang-Grip catalog before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and removal should be performed with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate ISCAR insert key or seating tool to avoid damaging the self-grip retention feature. Confirm insert is fully seated in the Tang-Grip pocket before resuming cutting operations. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's recommended maximum cutting depth and feed rate for the specific holder used with this insert.
