Iscar 6200331 Grooving Insert IC808 6mm Heli-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200331 is a solid carbide grooving insert carrying the GRIP6008HG-Y geometry and IC808 manufacturer grade. It is designed for external and face grooving operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. The insert delivers a 6.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.60 mm, making it well-suited for moderate-depth grooving passes. The PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability across a broad range of workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments specify this insert for consistent groove geometry and tool life.

The GRIP6008HG-Y insert belongs to the Heli-Grip series and is rated for use on universal primary workpiece material classifications, including ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. This covers steels, stainless steels, cast irons, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials. The double-ended design allows the insert to be flipped for a second cutting edge, extending usable life per insert. It is held in place by a clamp-style toolholder compatible with the Heli-Grip system.

Key Features

• 6.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3.60 mm
• IC808 submicron solid carbide grade with PVD coating: AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN
• HG-Y chip breaker geometry optimized for controlled chip evacuation in grooving
• Double-ended insert design provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• 0.80 mm corner radius supports groove profile accuracy and edge strength
• ISO 13399 compliant for tooling data integration with CAM and presetter systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heli-Grip series clamp-style toolholders that accept the GRIP 6008 insert size. Compatible across ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is at a complete stop and all axes are locked before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and confirm clamp engagement before resuming cuts. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping procedure for Heli-Grip style clamps.
