Iscar 6200302 Grooving Insert HFPR3015 IC808 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200302 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the HFPR3015 style, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This double-ended insert features a 3 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.5 mm, making it well suited for shallow, tight-tolerance grooves. The IC808 grade uses a PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating that resists heat and wear across a broad range of workpiece materials. A positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip evacuation. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert using a clamp-style holder in compatible ISCAR Heliface tooling systems.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That range spans steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and heat-resistant superalloys. It is used in production and job-shop turning environments where consistent groove geometry and tool life are required. The full corner radius of 1.5 mm contributes to a smooth groove profile and reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge. Right-hand cutting orientation suits standard lathe setups where the tool approaches from the right.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC808 grade with PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN coating for extended tool life
• 3 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 1.5 mm
• Full corner radius of 1.5 mm for a smooth, consistent groove profile
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Double-ended design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heliface series clamp-style grooving toolholders that accept HFPR-style inserts with size code 3015. Compatible across ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S per ISO 13399 classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the holder pocket before tightening the clamp to avoid edge chipping. Inspect the holder pocket for chips or wear before each insert change to maintain accurate cutting geometry.
