Iscar 6200075 Grooving Insert HFPL3003 IC354 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200075 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heliface series, designed for external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Designated style HFPL3003 with an IC354 grade and PVD-applied TiCN coating, this left-hand insert delivers a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.50 mm. The positive rake geometry at 7 degrees reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip evacuation, making it well suited for grooving stainless steel and steel workpieces where surface finish and tool life are priorities. It is a double-ended insert, offering two usable cutting edges per unit.

This insert is intended for use in ISCAR Heliface series toolholders configured for left-hand operation. Typical applications include external grooving, parting, and profile turning on ferrous materials, particularly stainless steel and general steel stock. The IC354 grade is optimized for ISO material groups M and P, covering austenitic stainless steels and carbon and alloy steels. It is used in production turning environments by machinists and tooling specialists running precision CNC turning equipment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiCN coating for wear resistance on stainless steel and steel
• 3.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 1.50 mm
• Positive rake angle of 7 degrees reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Left-hand insert orientation for use with compatible left-hand Heliface toolholders
• Double-ended design provides two cutting edges per insert
• Corner radius of 0.30 mm for controlled edge geometry at groove transitions

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heliface series toolholders accepting HFPL-style left-hand grooving inserts, size code 3003. Compatible with workpiece materials in ISO groups M (stainless steel) and P (steel).

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Use the toolholder manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to secure the insert clamp to the recommended seating torque range for the toolholder model. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating the new insert. Verify insert hand orientation matches the toolholder configuration before beginning any cutting operation.
