Iscar 6004922 Grooving Insert PENTA24N157C IC908 Tialn

Product Description

The ISCAR 6004922 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the PentaCut series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the PENTA24N157C designation with an IC908 grade and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, which delivers strong resistance to heat and wear during high-speed cuts. The neutral hand orientation suits a wide range of tool holder setups. A cutting width of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm (0.118 inches) make this insert well suited for fine grooving work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The fine-grained carbide substrate paired with a positive rake geometry promotes clean chip evacuation and edge integrity across multiple passes.

This insert is intended for use in turning and facing applications involving a broad range of workpiece materials. The primary workpiece material classification spans ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys. It is suited for production environments where a single insert grade must handle varied materials across job runs. The C chip breaker geometry is optimized for controlled chip formation in grooving at moderate to aggressive feed rates. This insert conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards, making it compatible with tool assembly and digital manufacturing workflows.

Key Features

• IC908 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for elevated wear resistance and thermal stability
• 1.57 mm cutting width with a 0.15 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut range of 3.00 to 4.00 mm (0.100 to 0.150 inches)
• Positive rake and C chip breaker for efficient chip control in grooving operations
• Universal workpiece material coverage across ISO groups H, K, M, P, and S
• Conforms to ISO 13399 for streamlined tool data integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for PentaCut series tool holders accepting PENTA 24N157C015 IC908 inserts. ISO code PENTA 24N157C015 IC908 confirms fitment within the PentaCut system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing any insert. Use the correct torx or clamping key specified for the PentaCut holder to avoid over-torquing the insert pocket. Inspect the pocket and clamping mechanism for wear or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper seating and repeatability.
