Iscar 6291287 Grooving Insert GRIP5005Y IC908 5mm Heli-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6291287 is a solid carbide double-ended grooving insert in the Heli-Grip series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GRIP5005Y insert style with a manufacturer grade of IC908 and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating that supports high-speed cutting in a wide range of workpiece materials. The cutting width is 5 mm (0.1969 inches) and the maximum depth of cut is 3 mm (0.1181 inches). The neutral hand orientation and positive rake angle of 7 degrees make this insert suitable for both left- and right-hand toolholders in the Heli-Grip system.

This insert is intended for use on metalcutting lathes and multi-tasking turning centers in production and job-shop environments. The IC908 grade with TiAlN coating is rated for universal workpiece material applications, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That broad material compatibility makes it a practical stocking choice for shops running steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and heat-resistant superalloys. Machinists and CNC operators in industrial manufacturing and toolroom settings are the primary users.

Key Features

• Double-ended insert design doubles usable cutting edges per insert
• IC908 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for wear resistance across universal workpiece materials
• 5 mm cutting width with a 0.50 mm corner radius for consistent groove geometry
• Positive rake angle (7 degrees) reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Chip breaker geometry (Y style) promotes controlled chip evacuation in grooving cuts
• Meets ISO 13399 tooling data standards for compatibility with CAM and tooling management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Heli-Grip series toolholders accepting GRIP5005Y-style inserts. Compatible with material grades C1, C2, C6, and C7 per the supplier specification. Refer to the ISCAR Heli-Grip toolholder catalog to confirm the correct clamping unit for this insert size (5005).

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and all energy sources locked out per applicable shop safety procedures. Use the torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the ISCAR Heli-Grip toolholder manufacturer — do not estimate clamping torque by feel. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the new insert, as contamination can cause insert rocking and premature edge failure. This insert should be installed and indexed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician.
