Iscar 6004445 Cutoff Insert 3.05 Mm IC808 Tang-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004445 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It belongs to the Tang-Grip series and carries the IC808 manufacturer grade, a PVD-coated submicron carbide grade engineered for universal workpiece material compatibility. The insert features a 3.05 mm cutting width (0.1180 inches), a neutral lead angle, and a JS chipbreaker geometry. A 7-degree relief angle and a 0.02 mm corner radius support clean chip evacuation and edge stability during interrupted or continuous cuts.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications across a broad range of workpiece materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, nonferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys, reflected in its ISO material codes H, K, M, P, and S. The Tang-Grip clamping system secures the insert mechanically without the need for screws, making it appropriate for production turning environments where quick indexing and consistent seating are priorities. It is installed by machinists and CNC tool setters in both job shop and production machining settings.

Key Features

• IC808 PVD-coated submicron carbide grade for extended tool life across universal workpiece materials
• 3.05 mm cutting width (0.1180 inches) for precise parting and grooving
• Neutral lead angle and JS chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip formation
• 7-degree relief angle supports edge clearance and reduces rubbing
• Tang-Grip mechanical clamping — no screw required for insert retention
• Single-ended insert; sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Tang-Grip series toolholders that accept TAG-style inserts with a size code 3 designation. Confirm toolholder bore and clamping slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tool setters. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. The Tang-Grip system relies on the toolholder clamp for retention — inspect the clamp and holder pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Do not overtighten or modify the clamping mechanism; follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines for clamp torque and insert seating procedure.
