Iscar 6200418 Grooving Insert GRIP5008Y IC8250 5mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6200418 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Heli-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GRIP5008Y insert style with an IC8250 manufacturer grade and features a PVD-applied Al2O3 coating for wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. The insert has a 5 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm, and a 0.80 mm corner radius. It is double-ended and held in place by a clamp-style toolholder. Machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments install this insert as a direct replacement when edge life is exhausted.

This insert is engineered for grooving stainless steel and carbon steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material codes M and P. The Heli-Grip series is suited to external grooving applications where precise groove width and controlled chip evacuation are required. The Y-style chip breaker geometry promotes chip curling and breakage in interrupted or continuous groove passes. The double-ended design allows the insert to be flipped to a fresh cutting edge before replacement, extending the service interval per insert consumed.

Key Features

• IC8250 solid carbide grade with PVD Al2O3 coating for stainless steel and steel cutting
• 5 mm cutting width with a 0.80 mm corner radius for defined groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut range of 3 mm to 4 mm
• Double-ended insert body provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Y-style chip breaker promotes chip control in grooving passes
• Clamp-style holding method for secure seating in compatible Heli-Grip toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with Heli-Grip series clamp-style toolholders that accept the GRIP 5008 insert size. Confirm toolholder seat dimensions and clamping method match the GRIP5008Y insert body before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Use the correct torque wrench and insert key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the clamp — do not overtighten by hand. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the machine tool builder and toolholder manufacturer guidelines for insert indexing procedures.
