Iscar 6200081 Grooving Insert HFPL6004 IC354 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200081 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heliface series, designed for precision grooving operations on metalworking lathes and turning centers. It carries the HFPL insert style with a manufacturer grade of IC354 and a PVD-applied TiCN coating for improved wear resistance and surface finish. The insert is left-hand oriented with a 6.00 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm, and a 0.40 mm corner radius. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees reduces cutting forces, making it well suited for work on stainless steel and steel workpieces. Machinists and CNC programmers specify this insert for controlled, repeatable groove geometry.

This insert is intended for use in Heliface series grooving toolholders and is optimized for primary workpiece materials including stainless steel and steel, corresponding to ISO material codes M and P. Typical applications include external and face grooving on CNC lathes and turning centers in production and job-shop environments. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting edges per insert, extending service life before replacement. It is suited to both roughing and finishing groove passes within its rated depth-of-cut range.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for Heliface series grooving toolholders accepting HFPL6004 style inserts. Confirm toolholder seat geometry and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the new insert, as contamination in the pocket can affect runout and cutting performance. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for the clamping screw; do not over-torque.
