Iscar 6003611 Pentacut Cutoff Insert 3.18 Mm Neutral

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003611 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the PentaCut series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. It carries the IC908 manufacturer grade with a PVD coating process, delivering wear resistance and edge stability across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 3.18 mm cutting width and a neutral lead angle with a neutral hand orientation, making it suitable for straight-in parting cuts. A 0.20 mm corner radius provides a controlled, consistent edge geometry. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in production and job-shop environments rely on this insert for repeatable cutoff performance.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That range includes steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, and heat-resistant superalloys. It is well suited to both light-duty and moderate-production grooving and parting applications in residential and industrial machine shops. The C chipbreaker geometry is optimized to control chip flow during cutoff passes. Maximum depth of cut reaches 10.00 mm, allowing the insert to handle a practical range of bar and workpiece diameters without requiring a tool change.

Installation Notes

Installation of carbide grooving and cutoff inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine spindle fully stopped and all power isolated. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert-seating tool specified for the PentaCut holder to avoid insert damage or improper seating. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for debris or wear before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for the selected holder and insert combination.
