Iscar 6003655 Cutoff Insert 2mm Pentacut IC908 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003655 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for the PentaCut system, a multi-edge parting and grooving platform used on CNC lathes and turning centers. This insert carries ISCAR grade IC908, a PVD-coated carbide grade with a TiAlN coating that provides wear resistance and thermal stability across a range of workpiece materials including steels, stainless, cast irons, and high-temperature alloys. The cutting width is 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches), with a right-hand lead angle of 6 degrees and a relief angle of 7 degrees. Corner radius is 0.10 mm. The insert designation PENTA 34R200PB-6D identifies the geometry, size, and lead configuration fully within the PentaCut toolholder system.

This insert is used in precision parting, grooving, and cutoff operations on CNC turning equipment in both production and job-shop environments. It is suited for applications requiring a narrow, accurate kerf where chip control and edge life are critical. The 2.00 mm cutting width and right-hand orientation make it a fit for standard right-hand PentaCut toolholders in the 34-series size range. Typical installers are CNC machinists and toolroom technicians working in aerospace, automotive, and general machining applications where tight tolerances on groove width and runout are required.

Key Features

• IC908 grade: PVD TiAlN-coated solid carbide for extended tool life across steel, stainless, cast iron, and high-temp alloys (material grades C1, C2, C6, C7)
• 2.00 mm (0.0787 inch) cutting width for precise, narrow parting and grooving
• 6-degree right-hand lead angle geometry (insert designation PENTA 34R200PB-6D)
• 7-degree relief angle and 0.10 mm corner radius for controlled chip formation and reduced edge loading
• PentaCut system compatibility enables multi-edge usage and secure clamping without screws

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR PentaCut system toolholders in the 34-series size range that accept right-hand lead angle inserts. Confirm toolholder pocket geometry matches the PENTA 34R200 insert seat before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and removal should be performed with the machine in a full-stopped, de-energized state and all axis motion locked out. Use the correct ISCAR PentaCut key or torx driver as specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not use substitute tools that can damage the pocket or insert seat. Inspect the insert pocket for chips, debris, or wear before seating a new insert; a contaminated pocket will affect insert stability and groove width accuracy. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's recommended insert engagement procedure for the PentaCut system.
