Iscar 6200048 Grooving Insert HFPR6004 IC20 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200048 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Cataloged under the Heliface series, this insert carries the HFPR6004 style designation and the IC20 uncoated carbide grade. It features a 6 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm, making it well suited for precision groove profiles in a range of workpiece materials. The double-end configuration extends usable tool life before replacement. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees promotes clean chip formation and reduces cutting forces during interrupted or continuous grooving passes.

This insert is intended for use in Heliface series grooving toolholders that accept the HFPR6004 insert style. The IC20 uncoated carbide grade is rated for universal application across multiple workpiece material groups, including cast iron, steel alloys, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to ISO material codes H, K, M, N, and S. It is a right-hand cutting insert suitable for standard right-hand turning setups. Machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this insert a direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged inserts in compatible Heliface tooling assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing any insert. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before installation, as contamination can affect seating accuracy and surface finish. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for the clamping screw and verify insert orientation matches the right-hand cutting direction of the setup.
