Iscar 6098696 Grooving Insert DGR2200JS IC20 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6098696 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the Cut-Grip series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries grade IC20, an uncoated solid carbide grade suited for universal workpiece materials across a broad range of applications. The insert delivers a 2.20 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 18.00 mm, making it appropriate for moderate-to-deep groove profiles. The JS chip breaker geometry promotes positive rake cutting action at 7 degrees, aiding chip control and reducing cutting forces. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC turning technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting operations on a variety of workpiece materials, including steel, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, reflected by the universal primary workpiece material designation and ISO material codes H, K, M, N, and S. The double-ended configuration provides two usable cutting edges per insert, extending service life. The self-grip holding method secures the insert directly in compatible Cut-Grip toolholders without additional clamping hardware. Typical applications include external grooving, recessing, and parting on components requiring tight groove-width tolerances.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine spindle stopped and all axis motion disabled. Use the appropriate torque wrench or insert seating tool specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-seat or pry the insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the machine tool builder and toolholder manufacturer guidelines for insert indexing and replacement intervals.
