Iscar 6200329 GRIP5025Y IC808 Grooving Insert 5mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200329 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heli-Grip series, designed for external and face grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GRIP5025Y insert style with a manufacturer grade of IC808, a submicron carbide substrate coated via PVD with a multilayer AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN finish. The insert delivers a 5 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.5 mm, with a full corner radius of 2.5 mm. A positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and supports clean chip formation across a wide range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and profiling applications in both light and heavy production environments. The IC808 grade is rated for universal application, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, H, and S, meaning it handles carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hardened materials, and superalloys within appropriate cutting parameters. It is installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists using a clamp-style insert holding method compatible with Heli-Grip toolholders. Typical use cases include O-ring groove cutting, snap-ring groove cutting, and face grooving on turned components.

Key Features

• IC808 submicron carbide grade with PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating for extended tool life
• 5 mm cutting width with a full radius of 2.5 mm for consistent groove geometry
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Neutral hand orientation allows use in standard right-hand grooving setups
• Y-style chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip breaking across depth-of-cut range of 2 mm to 3 mm
• Rated for universal workpiece materials: ISO P, M, K, H, and S material groups
• Compliant with ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heli-Grip series grooving toolholders that accept GRIP5025 insert size clamp-style seats. Confirm toolholder insert pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or CNC turning technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris before seating the new insert, and confirm secure clamping before resuming cutting operations.
