Iscar 6011397 Cutoff Insert TAGR3J15D IC830 Carbide 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6011397 is a Tang-Grip series solid carbide cutoff and parting insert designed for precision grooving and parting-off operations on CNC and manual turning centers. The insert carries the TAGR3J15D designation, indicating a right-hand orientation with a 15-degree lead angle, a J-type chipbreaker, and a 3.00 mm (0.118 inches) cutting width. It is manufactured in ISCAR IC830 grade carbide with a PVD coating, a combination engineered for high-temperature stability and edge retention when parting superalloys, stainless steels, and general-purpose workpiece materials. The Tang-Grip clamping system provides rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders, minimizing deflection during deep cut-off passes.

This insert is suited for production turning environments where consistent parting performance on difficult-to-machine alloys is required. Typical applications include parting off turned components on multi-spindle lathes, CNC turning centers, and live-tooling setups. The IC830 PVD grade is specifically optimized for ISO material groups M, P, and S, making it a practical selection for stainless steel, carbon steel, and superalloy workpieces found in aerospace, medical, and general industrial machining operations. Single-end geometry means the insert is replaced rather than flipped when the cutting edge is consumed.

Key Features

• IC830 PVD-coated carbide grade optimized for ISO M, P, and S workpiece materials including superalloys
• 3.00 mm (0.118 inches) cutting width with a 0.20 mm corner radius for controlled parting geometry
• 15-degree right-hand lead angle reduces entry forces and directs cutting loads away from the workpiece face
• J-type chipbreaker promotes reliable chip evacuation during deep parting cuts
• 7-degree relief angle reduces flank contact and heat buildup at the cutting zone
• Tang-Grip clamping interface delivers rigid, repeatable insert location without set screws through the insert body

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Tang-Grip series toolholders that accept TAGR3 style inserts with a clamp-style insert holding method. Confirm toolholder designation accepts the TAGR3J15D insert profile before ordering. Specific compatible toolholder model numbers were not provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine in a full stop, lockout-tagout state and the spindle confirmed stationary. Use the manufacturer-specified clamping wrench or torx key for the Tang-Grip toolholder; do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the toolholder pocket for chips or burrs before seating a new insert, as contamination in the pocket will cause insert rocking and premature edge failure. Minimum order quantity for this insert is 10 pieces per order.
