Iscar 6402632 Grooving Insert GIQR11-1.20 IC528 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6402632 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the ChamGroove series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the IC528 grade with a PVD-applied TiCN and TiN coating, this insert is engineered for cutting superalloys and titanium, materials that demand a tough, wear-resistant substrate and a slick, heat-resistant surface layer. The right-hand insert has a cutting width of 1.20 mm (0.0472 inch) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.60 mm (0.0236 inch). Overall insert length is 10.68 mm (0.4205 inch). Machinists and tooling specialists working in aerospace, medical, and high-performance manufacturing install this insert type.

This insert is suited for single-end grooving applications where tight tolerances and surface finish on difficult-to-machine materials are required. The IC528 grade targets ISO material groups M (stainless steel), P (steel), and S (superalloys and titanium), making it a practical choice for job shops and production facilities cutting high-strength alloys. It is a single-use, non-reversible insert. The insert size code is 11-1.20R060 and the catalog number is GIQR 11-1.20-R060. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• 0.60 mm (0.0236 inch) maximum depth of cut with a matching 0.60 mm corner radius
• Right-hand cutting geometry; single-end configuration
• Optimized for superalloy and titanium workpiece materials (ISO groups M, P, S)
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management integration

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR ChamGroove series toolholders that accept GIQR style inserts with an 11-1.20 insert size designation. Confirm toolholder pocket specifications before ordering. No additional compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of grooving inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine in a powered-down, locked-out state per applicable machine safety procedures. Use the appropriate ISCAR torx or hex key at the manufacturer-specified seating torque for the toolholder pocket — do not over-tighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or contamination before seating a new insert. Apply cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for the workpiece material, particularly when machining titanium or superalloys, to manage heat and chip evacuation.
