Iscar 6090176 Cutoff Insert Gfr 3 6D IC328 3mm Parting

Product Description

The ISCAR 6090176 is a solid carbide cutoff and parting insert designed for use in Self-Grip style toolholders. It carries the manufacturer grade IC328, a PVD-coated carbide grade engineered for superalloy and difficult-to-machine materials. The insert features a 3.00 mm (0.1181 inch) cutting width, a 6-degree right-hand lead angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and a 0.03 mm corner radius. The clamp-style holding method provides secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolblocks. Machinists and tool-room technicians handling precision parting operations will find this insert suited to demanding cutting conditions where edge stability and coating durability are critical.

This insert is intended for parting and cutoff operations on superalloy workpieces, with primary workpiece material codes M, P, and S indicating suitability across steel, stainless, and superalloy applications. The GFR 3-6D geometry, right-hand orientation, and single-ended configuration make it a direct fit for Self-Grip system toolholders running right-hand setups on CNC turning centers or manual lathes in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• IC328 PVD-coated carbide grade optimized for superalloy and stainless cutting
• 3.00 mm cutting width (0.1181 inch) for precise parting groove control
• 6-degree right-hand lead angle with 7-degree relief angle for free cutting action
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, vibration-resistant seating

• Conforms to ISO 13399 standard for tooling data representation

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Self-Grip series toolholders accepting GFR style inserts with a size code 3 designation and right-hand orientation. Verify toolholder seat geometry before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert changes should be performed with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate ISCAR clamp key or torque wrench as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the clamp. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for chips or wear before loading a new insert. Single-ended inserts are not reversible — do not attempt to flip or re-index.
