Iscar 6200232 Grooving Insert HGPL6005 IC908 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200232 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heliface series, designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This insert carries the IC908 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, which provides wear resistance and heat tolerance across a broad range of workpiece materials. It features a left-hand orientation, a 6 mm cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 3.60 mm. The submicron carbide substrate and positive rake geometry combine to reduce cutting forces and extend tool life in demanding production environments. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops or production turning cells are the primary users.

This insert is suited for external and internal grooving on a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature superalloys, consistent with its Universal primary workpiece material rating and material codes H, K, M, P, and S. The Heliface series is engineered for use with compatible ISCAR Heliface toolholders that accept the clamp-style insert holding method. Its double-end design offers two usable cutting edges per insert, making it a cost-effective choice in high-volume turning operations where insert consumption is a factor.

Key Features

• IC908 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended wear resistance and thermal stability
• 6 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3.60 mm
• Positive rake angle of 7 degrees reduces cutting forces on workpiece and spindle
• Double-end insert provides two usable cutting edges per piece
• 0.50 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• Clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in the toolholder
• Compliant with ISO 13399 for standardized tool data integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heliface series toolholders that accept HGPL-style clamp-held grooving inserts. Compatible with workpiece materials classified under ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and verify the clamp engages cleanly before resuming operation. Inspect the pocket and clamp for wear or debris that could prevent proper seating, as an unsecured insert presents a safety hazard at cutting speeds.
