Iscar 6004486 Cutoff Insert Tag N2.4C IC808 2.4mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004486 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the Tang-Grip series, designed for precision parting and slitting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC808 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN/AlTiN/TiN multilayer coating that supports high cutting speeds across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 2.4 mm cutting width (0.0945 inches), a neutral lead angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.16 mm (0.0063 inch) corner radius. The C chipbreaker geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in medium to general-purpose turning applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this insert suited to demanding cutoff cycles.

This insert is rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That range includes carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hardened materials, and heat-resistant super alloys. It is intended for production turning environments where consistent groove width and surface finish at cutoff are required. The Tang-Grip clamping system locks the insert securely in the corresponding ISCAR Tang-Grip toolholder, resisting pullout forces generated during deep parting passes. It is a single-end insert and is sold individually, though a minimum order quantity of 10 units applies.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully stopped and all motion arrested before handling cutting inserts. Use the appropriate ISCAR torx or hex key to secure the insert in the Tang-Grip pocket to the toolholder manufacturer's specified seating procedure. Inspect the pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert, as contamination can affect insert stability and groove accuracy. Follow your facility's lockout/tagout procedures before accessing the tool turret or tool post.
