Iscar 6096338 Cutoff Insert DGR4000JS-15D IC-328 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6096338 is a solid carbide cutoff and parting insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured under the Do-Grip series, it features a 3.99 mm (0.157 inch) cutting width and a 15-degree right-hand lead angle that directs cutting forces for improved chip control and insert stability. The IC-328 grade substrate is PVD-coated with TiN and TiCN for wear resistance in demanding applications. At 19.30 mm (0.760 inch) overall length, this double-ended insert uses a self-grip holding method for secure tool clamping without additional fasteners.

This insert is rated for use on superalloys and materials classified under ISO material groups M, P, and S, making it suitable for aerospace, medical, and general precision machining environments. The JS chipbreaker geometry promotes reliable chip evacuation during parting operations at moderate-to-high cutting speeds. It is packaged individually and must be ordered in multiples of 10 units per the manufacturer minimum order quantity.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in IC-328 grade with PVD-applied TiN and TiCN coating for extended tool life
• 3.99 mm (0.157 inch) cutting width for precise parting and grooving
• 15-degree right-hand lead angle improves chip flow direction and reduces lateral cutting forces
• JS chipbreaker geometry designed for reliable chip control on superalloys and multi-material workpieces
• Double-ended insert design maximizes usable cutting edges per insert
• Self-grip holding method provides secure seating in compatible Do-Grip toolholders without set screws

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Do-Grip series toolholders that accept DGR-style inserts with the 4000 size code and self-grip clamping. Intended for ISO material groups M, P, and S including superalloys.

Installation Notes

Installation and indexing of carbide parting inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Self-grip holders rely on the clamping slot geometry for retention; inspect the holder pocket for wear or debris before each insert change. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut or feed-rate parameters for this insert style.
