Iscar 6094993 Grooving Insert PENTA24N157020NF IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 6094993 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the PENTA series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the IC908 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, it delivers wear resistance and thermal stability across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 0.062-inch cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.118 inches. The right-hand orientation and NF chip breaker geometry suit finishing and near-finish grooving passes. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists maintaining tooling on production turning equipment.

The PENTA 6094993 insert is suited for grooving and parting on materials spanning steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and high-temperature alloys, consistent with its universal primary workpiece material rating and material grade designations C1, C2, C6, and C7. It is applicable in both high-volume production turning environments and job-shop operations where a single grade must cover multiple material types. The NF chip breaker is optimized for light finishing cuts where controlled chip formation and surface finish are priorities.

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR PENTA series grooving toolholders that accept the 24N insert size. Confirm toolholder seat and clamping system compatibility with the PENTA 24N157020 insert size specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping procedure. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket for chips or debris that could prevent full seating. Do not exceed the cutting parameters recommended for the IC908 grade and the specific workpiece material being machined.
