Iscar 6003650 Cutoff Insert TAGN5C IC20 5.05mm Neutral

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003650 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for parting and slitting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the IC20 grade, this uncoated insert features a 5.05 mm cutting width and a neutral lead angle, delivering predictable chip flow and consistent dimensional accuracy in a wide range of turning applications. The chipbreaker style is C, and the relief angle is 7 degrees, promoting clean clearance and reduced flank wear. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with universal workpiece materials will find this insert a dependable choice for tight-tolerance cutoff work.

This insert fits the Tang-Grip clamping system and is suited for slitting and parting applications across multiple material groups, including ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, and superalloys as indicated by the H, K, M, N, and S material codes. It is appropriate for both production-volume turning environments and job-shop applications where a single reliable insert geometry handles varied stock. The insert hand is neutral, making it adaptable to standard cutoff toolholders in the Tang-Grip family.

Key Features

• 5.05 mm cutting width for consistent parting and slitting cuts
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for flexible toolholder orientation
• 7-degree relief angle to reduce flank contact and extend tool life
• C-style chipbreaker promotes controlled chip evacuation during deep cutoff passes
• Conforms to ISO 13399 standards for tool data representation
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating is not required or preferred

Compatibility

Designed for use with Tang-Grip series cutoff and grooving toolholders that accept TAG-style inserts with a size code of 5. Compatible with workpiece materials spanning material codes H, K, M, N, and S per the manufacturers classification.

Installation Notes

Installation of carbide cutoff inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped before changing tooling. Seat the insert firmly in the Tang-Grip clamp pocket and verify the clamping screw is tightened to the toolholder manufacturers specification before resuming operation. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for chips or debris that could cause improper seating and premature insert failure. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine-specific lockout/tagout procedures during all tooling changes.
