Iscar 6003606 Cutoff Insert PENTA34N247C020 IC908 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003606 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the PentaCut series, identified by catalog number PENTA34N247C020 and manufactured to grade IC908. This insert features a 2.47 mm (0.0972 inch) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a 0.20 mm corner radius. The IC908 grade uses a PVD coating applied to a submicron carbide substrate, delivering wear resistance and edge toughness across a broad range of workpiece materials. It is held in place by a screw-clamping method and is designed for both grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications on universal workpiece materials, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That range includes steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hardened materials, and superalloys. With a maximum depth of cut of 8.00 mm (0.3150 inch), it handles shallow to moderate-depth grooves in production turning environments. The PentaCut system is commonly found in job shops and production facilities where a single toolholder platform is used across multiple material families to reduce changeover complexity.

Key Features

• 2.47 mm cutting width with a 0.20 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• IC908 grade with PVD coating on a submicron carbide substrate for extended tool life
• Neutral hand and neutral lead angle for straight radial grooving and parting
• Maximum depth of cut of 8.00 mm supports a wide range of groove depths
• Screw-clamping insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in PentaCut toolholders
• Compatible with ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S for universal application

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR PentaCut series toolholders that accept the 34N insert size. The insert is rated for ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S, making it suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials in grooving and parting operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician on a CNC lathe or turning center. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder documentation when tightening the clamping screw — do not over-tighten, as this can damage the insert pocket. Confirm insert seating and runout before starting a cut.
