Iscar 6200044 Grooving Insert HFPR5004 IC20 5mm Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200044 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Running under the Heliface series designation HFPR5004, this uncoated insert delivers a 5 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.5 mm. The IC20 grade is an uncoated solid carbide formulation suited for a broad range of workpiece materials. With a double-end configuration, the insert offers two usable cutting edges per unit, improving cost efficiency on high-volume turning applications. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees reduces cutting forces and helps control chip formation during grooving passes.

This insert is intended for use in turning operations across a universal range of workpiece materials, including ferrous metals, non-ferrous alloys, stainless steels, heat-resistant superalloys, and non-metallic materials as indicated by primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, and S. It seats into compatible ISCAR Heliface series toolholders designed to accept HFPR-style inserts. Typical applications include groove turning, face grooving, and parting on both light-duty and medium-duty CNC turning setups in production and job-shop environments. This insert is specified as a right-hand cutting tool.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping specifications. Always index or replace worn inserts with the machine fully stopped and the spindle locked. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping screw for wear or contamination before seating a new insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when changing cutting inserts.
