Iscar 6004484 Cutoff Insert 3mm IC808 Carbide Tang-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004484 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 3.00 mm cutting width (0.1180 inches) and a neutral lead angle for balanced cutting forces. The IC808 grade uses a PVD-coated submicron carbide substrate, which delivers strong edge retention and wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. This insert belongs to the Tang-Grip series and is held in place by a clamping method. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians performing high-precision turning work.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications on materials spanning multiple ISO categories including steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), hardened materials (H), and superalloys (S), reflecting its universal workpiece material classification. It fits Tang-Grip toolholders designed to accept the TAGN3CB insert geometry. The CB chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during cutoff and groove operations. Typical applications include production turning environments where consistent groove width and clean parting cuts are required.

Key Features

• 3.00 mm (0.1180 inches) cutting width for precise groove and parting dimensions
• IC808 PVD-coated submicron carbide grade for extended tool life across universal materials
• Neutral lead angle and 7-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces and improve surface finish
• CB chipbreaker controls chip evacuation during deep grooving and parting cuts
• 0.35 mm (0.0138 inches) corner radius for defined edge geometry
• Tang-Grip clamping system provides rigid, repeatable insert seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with Tang-Grip series toolholders that accept the TAGN3CB insert style and size code 3 geometry. Compatible with ISO 13399 compliant tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered off and the spindle fully stopped before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Tang-Grip clamping tool or torque key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert. Single-ended inserts should not be flipped or reindexed after the cutting edge is worn.
