Iscar 6200320 GRIP318040HG-Y IC808 Grooving Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200320 is a solid carbide grooving insert carrying the GRIP318040HG-Y designation in the Heli-Grip series. It is designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a 3.18 mm (0.1252 inches) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.90 mm (0.0748 inches), making it suited to precision grooving on small-to-medium diameter workpieces. The IC808 submicron carbide grade is PVD-coated with AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN layers, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability across a wide range of workpiece materials. Installation and indexing are handled by a clamp-holding method. This insert is typically replaced and set up by CNC machinists and turning specialists.

The GRIP318040HG-Y insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material coverage, including ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. This spans hardened steels, cast irons, general steels, non-ferrous materials, and high-temperature alloys. It is commonly used in production turning environments where consistent groove width and depth control are required. The HG-Y chip breaker geometry supports chip control during shallow grooving passes at typical CNC turning feed rates. The insert is part of the Heli-Grip platform, which uses a clamped insert-holding method for rigid and repeatable positioning in the toolholder.

Key Features

• 3.18 mm (0.1252 inches) cutting width for precise groove dimensioning
• Maximum depth of cut of 1.90 mm (0.0748 inches) for controlled shallow grooving
• IC808 submicron carbide grade with PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multi-layer coating
• HG-Y chip breaker geometry for effective chip formation and evacuation
• Neutral hand orientation for standard radial grooving setups
• ISO 13399 compliant tooling data for CAM and tool management system integration

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Heli-Grip series toolholders that accept the GRIP 318040 insert size using a clamp-holding method. Specific toolholder compatibility should be confirmed against ISCAR toolholder documentation for the GRIP insert platform.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and indexed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom personnel. Shut down the machine spindle and engage the axis lock before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key driver specified for the Heli-Grip clamp to seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces without overtightening. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or damage before installing a new insert.
