Iscar 6402405 Carbide Grooving Tool 1.5mm Groove 7mm Shank

Product Description

The ISCAR 6402405 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for precision groove-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent groove geometry in small-bore applications. The tool features a 7 mm shank diameter and cuts a groove width of 1.5 mm, making it well suited for retaining ring grooves, undercuts, and similar internal features in tight-tolerance bores. Overall length is 30 mm, with a projection of 2.5 mm. At 0.02 pounds, the tool is compact and lightweight for its application class.

This grooving tool is intended for internal grooving in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 6.80 mm and a maximum hole depth of 14 mm. It is used in production machining environments where repeatable groove width and depth are required. Typical applications include retaining ring seats, snap-ring grooves, and oil relief grooves in small-diameter bored components. The solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and extended tool life
• 1.5 mm groove width for precision internal grooving
• 7 mm shank diameter for secure tool holding in small-bore setups
• Minimum hole diameter of 6.80 mm enables work in tight bores
• Maximum hole depth of 14 mm with a 2.5 mm projection
• Compact 30 mm overall length for use in confined machining envelopes

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC turning centers and lathes equipped with tooling systems that accept a 7 mm shank diameter boring and grooving tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in a safe state before loading or adjusting tooling. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the appropriate clamping specification for the holder used, and verify projection length against the bore depth before running. Confirm tool offset data is entered correctly in the machine controller before initiating a cutting cycle.
