Iscar 6402486 Grooving Insert IC528 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6402486 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the ChamGroove series, designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries the GIQR8222010 form factor with a cutting width of 2.22 mm (0.0874 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 1.50 mm (0.0591 inches). The IC528 grade features a PVD-applied TiCN and TiN multilayer coating engineered for high-temperature wear resistance. This insert is a right-hand, single-end design secured by screw clamping, and it is installed and changed by qualified machinists and CNC toolroom technicians.

The 6402486 is optimized for cutting superalloys and titanium, workpiece material codes S and M, making it well suited for aerospace, medical, and energy sector turning applications where difficult materials and tight groove tolerances are the norm. The insert also covers general steel applications (material code P). With an overall length of 7.78 mm (0.3063 inches) and a corner radius of 0.10 mm (0.0039 inches), it fits standard ChamGroove toolholders and is cataloged as a multi-use insert style. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces; each package contains 1 insert.

Compatibility

Designed as a ChamGroove series replacement insert for ISCAR GIQR-style screw-clamp grooving toolholders. Confirm toolholder insert pocket specification against the GIQR8222010 insert size code before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed with the machine in a locked-out, zero-energy state per applicable machine tool lockout-tagout procedures. Use the correct ISCAR torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer-specified seating procedure when securing the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket seat and clamping screw for wear or contamination before seating the new insert. Verify cutting direction, depth stop, and coolant alignment before resuming the cut.
