Iscar 6097836 GTN3W IC354 Carbide Cutoff Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 6097836 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GTN3W insert style with an IC354 manufacturer grade and a PVD coating for improved wear resistance and edge integrity. The cutting width measures 0.122 inches (3.10 mm), making it well-suited for narrow parting cuts and groove profiles. A neutral lead angle and 7-degree relief angle provide stable, centered cutting action. This insert belongs to ISCAR's Self-Grip series and is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production turning environments.

This insert is used in grooving and parting applications across a range of workpiece materials where grades C5 and C6 carbide are appropriate. The Self-Grip clamping method secures the insert mechanically without additional fasteners, which simplifies changeover on compatible toolholders. The 0.20 mm corner radius (0.0079 inches) supports controlled chip formation at the groove edge. Typical applications include production turning on bar stock, shaft components, and similar turned parts in job-shop and high-volume environments. This is a single-end insert sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and all axes at rest. Seat the insert fully into the Self-Grip pocket and verify positive retention before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert seat for debris or damage before each insert change to maintain dimensional accuracy. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's setup instructions for proper insert engagement.
