Iscar 6401806 Grooving Insert GIP080000 IC54 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6401806 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the IC54 uncoated grade with a positive rake angle of 7 degrees, this insert delivers clean, controlled cuts in stainless steel and general steel workpieces. The GIP insert style features a 0.8 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.6 mm, making it well suited for narrow-groove and precision parting work. It is installed and changed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop turning environments.

This insert is intended for grooving applications on ferrous materials including stainless steel and carbon steel. The neutral hand orientation accommodates standard grooving toolholders in the Cut-Grip system. With an overall length of 15.30 mm, it fits toolholder pockets designed for the 080000 insert size code. Typical applications include external groove turning, undercut work, and precision parting on medium to small diameter workpieces in both production and maintenance machining settings.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert in the pocket. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before installing a new insert. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
