Iscar 6200041 Grooving Insert HFPL4004 IC20 Left Hand

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200041 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heliface series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This left-hand insert carries ISCAR grade IC20, an uncoated bright-finish carbide grade suited for a broad range of workpiece materials. It delivers a 4 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2 mm, with a 0.40 mm corner radius and a positive 7-degree rake angle. Machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert as a direct replacement or replenishment unit in compatible Heliface toolholders.

This insert is intended for use in grooving, face grooving, and parting applications on turning machines. The IC20 uncoated carbide grade and universal primary workpiece material classification make it applicable across steel, cast iron, stainless, non-ferrous, and high-temperature alloy workpieces. It is well suited for light to medium grooving passes where a sharp, positive rake edge and precise groove width are required. Typical environments include job shops and production machining cells running short to medium lot sizes.

Key Features

• 4 mm cutting width for consistent, dimensionally accurate grooves
• IC20 uncoated solid carbide grade with bright finish for sharp edge retention
• Left-hand insert orientation for compatible Heliface toolholders
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• 0.40 mm corner radius minimizes stress concentration at groove root
• ISO 13399 compliant insert geometry coding for tool data integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heliface series left-hand grooving toolholders that accept HFPL 4004 style inserts. Verify toolholder seat geometry and insert style code before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Always index or replace inserts with the machine in a full stop, spindle off, and all axes at a safe position. Use the correct torque wrench and ISCAR-specified clamping screw for the Heliface toolholder to avoid seat damage or insert fracture. Inspect the pocket seat for chips or wear before seating a new insert.
