Iscar 6200077 Grooving Insert HFPL4004 IC354 Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200077 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the Heliface series, designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the HFPL4004 insert style designation with a manufacturer grade of IC354 and a PVD-applied TiCN coating. The insert is configured for left-hand cutting with a 4 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2 mm. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees and a 0.40 mm corner radius contribute to controlled chip formation. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible Heliface toolholders for grooving and parting applications.

This insert is suited for grooving stainless steel and steel workpieces in production turning environments. The IC354 grade with TiCN PVD coating provides wear resistance and toughness for interrupted cuts and difficult-to-machine alloys. Typical applications include external grooving, face grooving, and shallow parting cuts where a 4 mm groove width is required. The left-hand orientation makes it appropriate for specific toolholder configurations and machine setups where the cutting direction is reversed from standard right-hand tooling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiCN coating for wear resistance on stainless steel and steel
• 4 mm cutting width (0.1575 inches) for consistent groove sizing
• Maximum depth of cut of 2 mm (0.0787 inches); operating range extends to 3 mm (0.1181 inches)
• Positive rake angle of 7 degrees for reduced cutting forces and improved chip flow
• 0.40 mm (0.0157 inches) corner radius for defined groove edge geometry
• ISO 13399 compliant tooling data for CAM and tool management integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heliface series toolholders that accept the HFPL4004 insert style in a left-hand configuration. Primary workpiece material compatibility includes stainless steel (ISO material code M) and steel (ISO material code P), corresponding to carbide material grades C5 and C6.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the pocket and tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque. Verify correct insert orientation and hand designation against the toolholder setup sheet before running the first part.
