Iscar 6004673 Cutoff Insert 3.05 Mm Tang-grip Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004673 is a single-end solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert in the Tang-Grip series, designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the TAGN3LF designation, indicating a TAG insert style with a size code 3, neutral lead angle, neutral hand orientation, and LF chipbreaker geometry. The manufacturer grade is IC830, a PVD-coated carbide grade with an AlTiN and TiN coating stack optimized for cutting superalloys and a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A 7-degree relief angle and a 0.20 mm corner radius round out the cutting geometry. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers.

This insert is rated primarily for superalloy workpiece materials, with ISO material codes M, P, and S covering steel, stainless steel, and superalloys respectively. It is suited for precision parting, face grooving, and external grooving applications where a 3.05 mm (0.1200 inch) cutting width is required. The LF chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation in tight-clearance operations. Its multi-use designation means a single insert can serve across compatible Tang-Grip toolholders without retooling for different groove profiles of the same width.

Key Features

• 3.05 mm (0.1200 inch) cutting width for precise parting and grooving
• IC830 PVD-coated carbide grade with AlTiN and TiN coating for extended tool life in superalloy cutting
• LF chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation in deep or interrupted cuts
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for flexible setup on right- or left-hand passes
• 7-degree relief angle reduces rubbing and heat buildup at the cutting edge
• 0.20 mm corner radius minimizes edge chipping on tight-tolerance grooves
• Compliant with ISO 13399 insert data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in Tang-Grip series toolholders accepting TAG style, size code 3 single-end inserts with a 3.05 mm cutting width. Verify toolholder pocket specifications against the TAGN3LF insert profile before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Seat the Tang-Grip insert fully into the toolholder pocket and confirm positive mechanical retention before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the toolholder or machine manufacturer rated feed and speed parameters for the IC830 grade and workpiece material combination.
