Iscar 6004633 DGN2202LF IC908 Carbide Cutoff Insert 2.2mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004633 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert under the DGN2202LF designation, manufactured to IC908 grade with a PVD coating. It carries a 2.2 mm (0.0866 inch) cutting width and a neutral lead angle, making it suitable for straight-in grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The IC908 grade uses a submicron carbide substrate with PVD coating, delivering thermal resistance and edge stability across a broad range of workpiece materials. The double-ended design provides two usable cutting edges per insert, extending tool life per unit. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments.

The DGN2202LF IC908 is designed for grooving and parting applications on a universal range of workpiece materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by material codes P, M, K, H, and S. It belongs to ISCAR's Do-Grip series, which uses a clamping holding method for secure insert retention under interrupted cuts and high feed conditions. Typical applications include external grooving, face grooving setup with compatible toolholders, and full parting-off operations on turned components in both job shop and high-volume production settings.

Key Features

• IC908 grade PVD-coated submicron carbide for wear resistance across universal workpiece materials
• 2.2 mm cutting width (0.0866 inch) with a 0.20 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• Double-ended insert yields two cutting edges per piece
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for straight radial grooving and parting
• Maximum depth of cut: 18.0 mm (0.7087 inch)
• F chipbreaker geometry for chip control in grooving and parting operations
• Conforms to ISO 13399 cutting tool data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Do-Grip series clamping toolholders compatible with DGN-style inserts. Verify toolholder seat dimensions and clamping mechanism against the DGN2202 insert size code before installation. No additional specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Insert installation should be performed with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate ISCAR Do-Grip clamping key or torque wrench to seat the insert securely in the pocket — do not over-torque the clamp screw. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Replace both cutting edges before insert failure to prevent pocket damage on the toolholder.
