Iscar 6402287 Solid Carbide Grooving Tool 4mm Shank

Product Description

The ISCAR 6402287 is a solid carbide grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from solid carbide throughout, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent groove geometry in steel, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials. The 4 mm shank diameter keeps the tool compact for small-bore work, while the 1 mm groove width produces precise, repeatable grooves in tight tolerances. With an overall length of 30 mm and a projection of 0.80 mm, this tool is suited for applications where minimal overhang and close clearances are required. Machinists and toolroom technicians handling small-diameter internal features will find this tool a direct-fit solution for production and maintenance turning work.

This grooving tool is intended for internal grooving in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 4 mm and a maximum hole depth of 15 mm. It fits turning centers and CNC lathes equipped with tool holders accepting a 4 mm round shank. Typical applications include snap ring grooves, oil grooves, and relief grooves in small hydraulic, pneumatic, and precision mechanical components. The solid carbide construction makes it well suited for high-speed, low-vibration cutting environments where tool life and dimensional accuracy are critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability
• 1 mm groove width for precise, narrow internal grooving
• 4 mm shank diameter sized for small-bore toolholders
• 30 mm overall length with 0.80 mm projection for controlled reach in confined bores
• Rated for a maximum hole depth of 15 mm, covering common small-component groove depths

Compatibility

Designed for use in tool holders and turning centers accepting a 4 mm round shank; suitable for internal grooving operations with a minimum bore entry of 4 mm.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine in a locked-out, de-energized state per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the holder manufacturer's clamping specifications before operation. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear prior to each use, as damaged tooling can cause dimensional errors or workpiece damage. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for solid carbide grooving tools based on workpiece material.
