It carries the GIM3J8A insert style designation and the IC354 manufacturer grade, featuring a PVD-applied TiCN coating that delivers wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The insert has a 0.1181-inch (3.00 mm) cutting width, a positive rake angle of 7 degrees, and an 8-degree lead angle. Intended for right-hand tooling setups, this single-end insert is part of ISCAR's Cut-Grip series. Licensed machinists and CNC lathe operators install this insert in compatible Cut-Grip toolholders for high-precision grooving work on turned components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving stainless steel and steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material codes M and P. The A chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in these materials, making it a practical choice for both interrupted and continuous grooving passes on CNC turning centers in production and job-shop environments. The overall insert length is 0.6024 inches, and the corner radius measures 0.0087 inches (0.22 mm), supporting tight-tolerance groove profiles. It is packaged individually and sold in multiples of 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with PVD TiCN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.1181-inch (3.00 mm) cutting width with 0.0087-inch (0.22 mm) corner radius for defined groove geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (7 degrees) reduces cutting forces and heat generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA chip breaker geometry supports reliable chip control in M and P material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, single-end configuration for use in Cut-Grip series toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant with ISO 13399 insert data standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders accepting GIM-style inserts with a 3J8 size code.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct torx or clamping key specified for the Cut-Grip toolholder to secure the insert without overtightening the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and accurate cutting geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: IC354\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1181 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6024 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0087 inches (0.22 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3J8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cut-Grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C5, C6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISCAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6402291\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731291898162,"sku":"6402291","price":234.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6643f6d255207dd53a55e682ce2e8d59.jpg?v=1788729332","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-6402291-grooving-insert-gim3j8a-ic354-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
