Iscar 6004653 Cutoff Insert 3mm Neutral Pentaiqgrip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004653 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for parting, grooving, and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It belongs to the PentaIQGrip series and carries manufacturer grade IC808 with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating over a submicron carbide substrate. The insert features a 3.00 mm (0.1180 inch) cutting width, a 20-degree lead angle in a neutral orientation, and a 0.20 mm (0.0080 inch) corner radius. These characteristics make it well suited for tight-tolerance parting and grooving applications where edge stability and coating adhesion are critical to tool life.

This insert is intended for use in metal cutting environments where grooving, parting, and profile turning are performed on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The PentaIQGrip series is designed for use in compatible ISCAR toolholders that accept PENTA-style inserts with the D32N300 size code. Typical applications include production turning on horizontal and vertical CNC lathes in both job shop and high-volume manufacturing settings. The neutral hand configuration allows for straight-in parting cuts without directional bias.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with submicron material grade for wear resistance
• PVD TiAlN coating provides thermal stability and reduced flank wear
• 3.00 mm cutting width (0.1180 inch) suits standard parting and grooving slots
• 20-degree lead angle, neutral orientation, for straight parting cuts
• 0.20 mm corner radius (0.0080 inch) for controlled chip formation at groove corners
• PentaIQGrip series geometry engineered for secure seating in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR PentaIQGrip series toolholders accepting PENTA D32N300 insert size code. Verify toolholder seat geometry and clamping configuration before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating the insert, as a compromised pocket will affect cutting performance and edge life.
