Carrying the GIM328A insert style and IC20 uncoated carbide grade, this single-end insert delivers a cutting width of 0.126 inches (3.20 mm) with a corner radius of 0.0087 inches (0.22 mm). The positive rake geometry and 7-degree rake angle reduce cutting forces and improve chip flow across a wide range of workpiece materials. It is installed by machining professionals and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert belongs to the Cut-Grip series and is configured for right-hand operation. The IC20 uncoated solid carbide grade is suited for universal applications covering materials in ISO material groups H, K, M, N, and S, making it adaptable across steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, and super-alloy workpieces. The chip breaker designation A and an 8-degree lead angle support controlled chip formation during grooving passes. This insert is a single-use, single-end design packaged individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCutting width of 0.126 inches (3.20 mm) for precise groove sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIC20 uncoated solid carbide grade rated for universal workpiece material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (7 degrees) reduces cutting forces and heat generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.0087 inches (0.22 mm) for controlled edge geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut-Grip series clamping system uses clamp and screw holding for secure seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ISO 13399 insert identification standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in Cut-Grip series toolholders accepting GIM-style inserts with size code 328.
