Iscar 6400504 Grooving Insert GIP157015 IC20 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6400504 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the GIP157015 insert size code within the Cut-Grip series, this insert delivers a 1.57 mm (0.0618 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.70 mm (0.1063 inch). The IC20 uncoated carbide grade provides reliable edge sharpness on a wide range of workpiece materials. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees and a 0.15 mm corner radius combine to reduce cutting forces and support clean, burr-free groove profiles. The double-end configuration extends usable tool life per insert.

This insert fits standard Cut-Grip toolholders that accept the GIP style seat. It is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, N, and S, making it suitable for carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys. Typical applications include shallow grooving, undercut machining, and parting on production turning equipment in job shops and manufacturing facilities. The insert is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate clamp and torque driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before each insert change to maintain accurate seating and repeatable tool geometry.
