Iscar 6200318 GRIP3003Y IC808 Grooving Insert 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200318 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heli-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the GRIP3003Y insert style with an IC808 grade, this double-ended insert features a PVD-applied multilayer coating of AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN for extended tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials. The 3.00 mm cutting width and 1.80 mm maximum depth of cut make it suited for precision grooving in production turning environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this class of insert in compatible ISCAR Heli-Grip toolholders.

This insert is intended for use in turning and grooving applications where consistent groove width and surface finish are required. It is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, with ISO material codes covering H, K, M, P, and S classifications — spanning hardened materials, cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, and high-temperature alloys. The Heli-Grip series is commonly deployed in both high-volume production shops and job shops running mixed-material work. The neutral hand orientation and double-ended design support flexible setup and reduce per-edge tooling cost.

Key Features

• IC808 grade with PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating for wear resistance
• 3.00 mm cutting width with a 0.30 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• 1.80 mm maximum depth of cut, suitable for shallow precision grooving
• Double-ended insert design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Neutral hand orientation for versatile setup on standard and gang-tooled lathes
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heli-Grip series toolholders that accept GRIP3003Y style inserts. Verify toolholder pocket specification before installation to confirm insert size code 3003 compatibility.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before performing any insert change. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamping screw, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket seat for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
