Iscar 6004780 Cutoff Insert IC908 Carbide 2 Mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004780 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the PentaCut series, carrying the manufacturer catalog designation PENTA24N200C020 with grade IC908. This insert delivers a 2.00 mm cutting width and is held in place by a screw-type clamping method. The IC908 grade features a submicron carbide substrate with a PVD-applied TiN and TiAlN multilayer coating, giving it wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. The neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation make it a versatile choice for straight-in parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments install this type of insert.

This insert is designed for grooving and parting applications across universal workpiece material groups, including ISO material codes H, K, M, P, and S - covering hardened materials, cast irons, stainless steels, steels, and high-temperature alloys. The C chipbreaker geometry suits general-purpose chip control in these applications. The maximum depth of cut is 6.00 mm, making it appropriate for moderate-depth grooving work on shafts, tubes, and bar stock in both light and medium-duty cuts. The multi-use tool designation indicates the insert seat supports reindexing for extended value per insert.

Key Features

• 2.00 mm cutting width with a 0.20 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• IC908 grade: submicron carbide substrate with PVD TiN and TiAlN coating for thermal and wear resistance
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for straight parting and grooving without lateral cutting forces
• Maximum depth of cut of 6.00 mm suitable for moderate grooving operations
• Screw-clamping insert holding for positive, repeatable seating in PentaCut toolholders
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management system integration

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR PentaCut series toolholders that accept the PENTA 24N insert size. Compatible with workpiece material ISO groups H, K, M, P, and S as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining professionals on CNC lathes or turning centers with the machine fully stopped and all motion axes at rest. The screw clamp should be tightened with the appropriate Torx or hex key driver per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines - do not overtighten, as this can crack the insert. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure full, flat contact. Replace the insert at the first sign of chipping or excessive flank wear to avoid workpiece damage or toolholder seat erosion.
