Iscar 6011461 Carbide Cutoff Insert 3.25 Mm Tang-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6011461 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Tang-Grip series, it features a 3.25 mm (0.128 inch) cutting width and a neutral lead angle, making it suitable for straight parting cuts without lateral cutting force bias. The insert carries the IC830 manufacturer grade with an AlTiN and TiN PVD coating, optimized for wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting speeds. A 0.20 mm corner radius and 7-degree relief angle contribute to controlled chip formation and edge integrity during demanding cuts.

This insert is engineered for grooving and parting applications where superalloys and steel are the primary workpiece materials, corresponding to ISO material codes M, P, and S. It is suited to production environments running tight tolerances on difficult-to-machine materials, including aerospace and energy-sector components. The JT chipbreaker geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in these applications. The Tang-Grip interface provides secure, repeatable seating in compatible Tang-Grip toolholders, reducing insert movement under interrupted or high-feed cutting conditions. Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC830 grade for high-temperature and superalloy cutting
• AlTiN and TiN PVD dual coating for extended tool life and thermal resistance
• 3.25 mm (0.128 inch) cutting width with neutral lead angle for straight parting cuts
• JT chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip flow in grooving and parting
• 0.20 mm corner radius and 7-degree relief angle for precise edge geometry
• Tang-Grip series interface for secure, repeatable insert seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with Tang-Grip series toolholders that accept TAGN3.2 style inserts. Compatible with workpiece materials in ISO categories M (stainless steel), P (steel), and S (superalloys).

Installation Notes

Installation and insert changes must be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine powered down and in a locked-out state. Use the appropriate Tang-Grip insert installation tool or torx key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert fully before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines for feed rates and depth-of-cut limits when running IC830 grade inserts on superalloy workpieces.
