Iscar 6400652 Grooving Insert GIP315015P IC20 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6400652 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the IC20 uncoated carbide grade, this double-ended neutral-hand insert delivers a cutting width of 0.124 inches (3.15 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.512 inches (13 mm). It belongs to ISCAR's Cut-Grip series, a clamped insert system engineered for secure seating and repeatability in interrupted and continuous grooving cuts. The positive rake geometry and P chip breaker promote controlled chip formation across a broad range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and profile turning applications in both light and moderate production environments. The universal primary workpiece material designation makes it applicable across steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. The double-end design extends tool life per insert, making it a practical choice for shops looking to reduce insert consumption in high-turnover grooving operations. Installation is performed by machining technicians using compatible Cut-Grip tool holders and standard clamping hardware.

Key Features

• Double-ended insert design doubles usable cutting edges per unit
• 3.15 mm (0.124 inch) cutting width with a 0.15 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• Positive rake angle of 7 degrees with P chip breaker for controlled chip evacuation
• Compatible maximum depth of cut range from 10 mm to 20 mm (0.300 inches to 1.000 inches)
• Clamp-held insert style for rigid, repeatable seating in Cut-Grip holders
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series clamping tool holders that accept GIP-style inserts with the 315015 size code. Suitable for universal workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, and S as defined by ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machining technician with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped before insert exchange. Use the appropriate Cut-Grip clamp key to seat and secure the insert according to the tool holder manufacturer's instructions. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow your facility's lockout/tagout procedures before any tooling change on CNC equipment.
