Iscar 6400568 Grooving Insert GIP239015P IC20 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6400568 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for precise external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the manufacturer grade IC20, this uncoated double-ended insert features a 2.39 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 4.70 mm, and a positive rake angle of 7 degrees. The neutral hand orientation and GIP insert style make it a versatile choice for shops running a range of grooving applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators typically install and index this insert as part of a modular Cut-Grip toolholder system.

This insert is suited for universal workpiece materials, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, N, and S, which include hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, and heat-resistant superalloys. It fits grooving applications on both light production and high-volume turning operations where consistent groove geometry and chip control are critical. The GIP insert style is compatible with Cut-Grip series toolholders designed to accept GIP-style inserts. This insert is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

This insert is indexed and replaced by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-tighten or substitute hardware. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper clamping and accurate cutting geometry.
