Iscar 6004699 Cutoff Insert 1.5mm IC908 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004699 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the PentaCut series, identified by the manufacturer part number PENTA34N150J015 with grade IC908. It features a 1.5 mm (0.0591 inch) cutting width and a PVD coating applied to a submicron carbide substrate, delivering edge toughness and wear resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. The screw-clamping holding method keeps the insert securely seated under interrupted cuts and high feed rates. This insert is designed for use by machinists and CNC lathe operators performing precision grooving and parting operations.

The PENTA34N150J015 insert is suited for grooving and parting applications on CNC turning centers and manual lathes. It carries a neutral hand designation and a zero-degree lead angle, making it appropriate for straight plunge cuts. The universal primary workpiece material rating and ISO material group codes H, K, M, P, and S indicate compatibility across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and heat-resistant superalloys. With a 7-degree relief angle and a 0.15 mm (0.0060 inch) corner radius, it suits both finish and semi-finish grooving passes.

Key Features

• 1.5 mm (0.0591 inch) cutting width for narrow-groove and parting operations
• IC908 grade with PVD coating on a submicron carbide substrate for extended tool life
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for straight plunge-cut grooving
• Screw-clamping insert holding method for rigid, repeatable seating
• 7-degree relief angle with 0.15 mm corner radius for clean groove geometry
• Rated for ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S covering a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with PentaCut series screw-clamp toolholders that accept the PENTA 34N insert style. Confirm toolholder seat dimensions and insert pocket geometry before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is placed in an e-stop or locked-out state before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the new insert.
