Iscar 6402694 Face Grooving Tool 1.5mm Groove Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6402694 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on small-bore workpieces. It features a 7 mm shank diameter and cuts a 1.5 mm wide groove in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 8 mm. The overall length is 26 mm (1.024 inches), and maximum hole depth capacity reaches 11 mm (0.433 inches). Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent groove geometry in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This tool is sized for precision work in tight bore profiles where toolholder reach and rigidity are critical.

The 6402694 is suited for face grooving applications in CNC turning centers and manual lathes where internal face grooves, retaining-ring grooves, or seal grooves must be cut in bores starting at 8 mm minimum diameter. A 2.5 mm projection from the shank allows access to the groove face without interference. Typical users include machinists and toolroom technicians working on hydraulic components, valve bodies, and precision mechanical assemblies requiring controlled groove widths.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in precision grooving
• 1.5 mm groove width for narrow internal face grooves
• 7 mm shank diameter compatible with standard small-bore toolholders
• Minimum bore entry of 8 mm allows work in tight internal diameters
• Maximum hole depth of 11 mm (0.433 inches) covers typical seal and retaining-ring groove locations
• 2.5 mm projection provides clearance for face groove access

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC turning and manual lathe setups requiring face grooving in bores with a minimum diameter of 8 mm and a shank seat sized for 7 mm carbide grooving tools.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians in appropriate small-bore grooving toolholders. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool turret or holder is locked before seating or removing the tool. Verify shank engagement and projection distance match the workpiece bore depth before initiating a cut. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling supplier setup guidelines for feed rate and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material.
