Iscar 6004884 DGN2002LF IC830 Carbide Cutoff Insert 2mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004884 is a double-ended solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the Do-Grip series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries the DGN 2002LF designation, indicating a 2.00 mm cutting width with an LF chipbreaker geometry and neutral lead angle. Grade IC830 is a PVD-coated carbide grade featuring a TiN and TiAlN coating, optimized for cutting superalloys and a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The self-grip holding method locks the insert securely in compatible Do-Grip toolholders without additional fasteners.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications across general turning, aerospace component machining, and production environments where superalloys, steels, and stainless materials are commonly machined. The double-ended design extends insert life by providing two usable cutting edges per insert. The LF chipbreaker promotes chip control in finishing and light-to-medium grooving cuts. The 0.20 mm corner radius reduces cutting forces at entry while maintaining edge integrity. This insert is typically installed and managed by CNC machinists, toolroom technicians, and production turning operators.

Key Features

• IC830 PVD-coated grade with TiN and TiAlN coating optimized for superalloys and steels
• Double-ended insert body provides two cutting edges per insert
• LF chipbreaker geometry supports chip control in finishing and light grooving passes
• Self-grip holding method - no clamping screw required in compatible toolholders
• Maximum depth of cut 18.00 mm (0.7087 inches) for through-parting on small-to-medium diameter workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Do-Grip series toolholders that accept DGN-style self-grip cutoff and grooving inserts. Refer to the ISCAR Do-Grip toolholder catalog to confirm pocket size and insert-style compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and removal should be performed with the machine spindle stopped and all energy sources locked out per applicable machine safety procedures. Use the correct ISCAR insert-seating tool or a non-marring press tool to fully seat the insert into the Do-Grip pocket - do not strike the insert with a metal tool. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before each insert change. Handling carbide inserts with bare hands can introduce oils that affect seating; use clean gloves or insert-handling tweezers where practical.
