Iscar 6003662 Cutoff Insert 2mm Tang-grip Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6003662 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the TAGN2UT designation within ISCAR's Tang-Grip series and uses the IC908 submicron carbide grade with a PVD coating for wear resistance and edge integrity. The insert features a 2.00 mm (0.0787 inch) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.20 mm (0.0079 inch) corner radius. A clamp-style holding method secures the insert in compatible Tang-Grip toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments install this insert as a single-end, replaceable cutting edge.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That range includes carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hardened materials, and superalloys, making it well-suited for general-purpose grooving and parting across mixed-material production runs. Typical applications include external grooving, parting-off, and face grooving on medium to small diameter bar stock. The UT chipbreaker geometry is optimized for chip control across this broad material spectrum.

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Tang-Grip series toolholders that accept TAG-style inserts with a size code 2 designation. Confirm toolholder insert pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and insert indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Disengage machine power and confirm the spindle is fully stopped before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten or substitute hardware. Verify insert seating and clamp engagement before resuming cutting operations.
