Iscar 6402602 Grooving Insert IC528 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6402602 is a solid carbide grooving insert carrying manufacturer grade IC528 and part designation GIQR8150005, designed for precision external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a 1.5 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.5 mm, with a 0.05 mm corner radius for controlled edge engagement. A PVD-applied TiCN and TiN multilayer coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed cutting. This is a right-hand, single-end insert suited for machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or job-shop turning environments.

This insert belongs to the ISCAR ChamGroove series, which targets small-diameter grooving and parting applications. Primary workpiece materials are superalloys and titanium, with material grade classifications of C5 and C6. The ISO 13399 tooling data standard is supported, making this insert compatible with digital tool management systems. Typical applications include shallow groove profiles, undercuts, and snap-ring groove features on precision turned components in aerospace, medical, and high-performance manufacturing sectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all motion is locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert firmly into the pocket and torque the clamping screw to the toolholder specification provided by the holder manufacturer. Verify insert orientation and overhang before resuming cutting operations.
