Iscar 6094205 Gfn 1.6J IC-328 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 6094205 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 1.6 mm (0.0630 inch) cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a 7-degree relief angle. The insert carries ISCAR manufacturer grade IC328, a PVD-coated carbide grade engineered for cutting superalloys and a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The J chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip flow in tight grooving applications. This insert is intended for installation by machinists and tooling specialists working with Self-Grip style grooving toolholders.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting operations in production turning environments, including both light and demanding cut conditions on superalloys, steel, and similar materials. The Self-Grip clamping method provides secure insert retention without additional fasteners, making it practical for high-volume turning cells. A 0.16 mm (0.0063 inch) corner radius contributes to controlled entry and reduced edge chipping at the start of cut. The single-end configuration is standard for this insert style and series.

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Self-Grip series grooving toolholders that accept GFN-style inserts with a 1.6 insert size code. Suitable for grooving and parting on workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes M, P, and S, including superalloys and steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling setup personnel. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the Self-Grip toolholder pocket and verify secure clamping before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended cutting parameters for this insert size and grade.
