Iscar 6200311 HFPR5025 IC808 Grooving Insert 5mm Heliface

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200311 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heliface series, designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries the HFPR5025 style designation with a 5.00 mm (0.197 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.50 mm (0.098 inch). It features an IC808 grade substrate with a PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating, delivering high heat resistance and wear life across a broad range of workpiece materials. The positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces, making this insert well suited for finishing and light interrupted cuts. Installation is handled by a mechanical clamp-style holding method, and the double-end configuration extends usable tool life per insert.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups P (steel), M (stainless), K (cast iron), H (hardened materials), and S (superalloys and titanium). It is used in production turning environments where consistent groove geometry and tight dimensional tolerances are required. The Heliface series is engineered for grooving applications on both OD and face grooving toolholders that accept HFPR-style inserts. Typical users include CNC machinists and toolroom operators working in job shops, aerospace component manufacturing, and general precision machining.

Key Features

• IC808 grade solid carbide with PVD AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating for extended tool life
• 5.00 mm cutting width (0.197 inch) with a full radius corner of 2.50 mm (0.098 inch)
• Maximum depth of cut range of 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm (0.075 inch to 0.100 inch)
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish
• Double-end insert design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Clamp-style holding method ensures rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for use in CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in HFPR-style clamp-type grooving toolholders within the ISCAR Heliface series. Compatible across ISO material groups P, M, K, H, and S as designated by the universal primary workpiece material rating. Verify toolholder acceptance of the HFPR5025 insert style before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and removed by a qualified machinist or CNC toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct clamp key or torx driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the clamp without over-torquing. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
