Iscar 6402806 GIMY315FY IC908 Grooving Insert 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6402806 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the GIMY315FY geometry in ISCAR grade IC908, it features a TiAlN PVD coating applied over a submicron carbide substrate. The cutting width is 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 0.06 mm (0.0024 inches), making it well suited to fine, shallow groove profiles. The insert carries a positive rake angle of 7 degrees and a corner radius of 1.50 mm (0.0591 inches). It mounts via ISCAR self-grip clamping and is sold as a single-end insert. Installation requires a compatible Cut-Grip toolholder.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That range covers steels, stainless steels, cast irons, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials. Typical applications include shallow grooving, face grooving, and light parting on small-diameter workpieces in production turning environments. The FY chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation in these material groups. The insert conforms to ISO 13399 standards and carries the ISO code GIMY 315.

Key Features

• TiAlN PVD coating for heat resistance and extended tool life
• 3.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut range of 0.00 to 2.00 mm
• Positive rake angle of 7 degrees reduces cutting forces
• Self-grip clamping method for rigid, repeatable insert seating
• FY chip breaker geometry for chip control across universal material grades
• Conforms to ISO 13399 insert identification standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept GIMY 315 style inserts. Compatible across ISO workpiece material groups H, K, M, P, and S as defined by the manufacturer. Verify toolholder pocket size and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully stopped, spindle locked, and all energy sources isolated per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Use the correct insert seating tool or key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid damaging the self-grip pocket. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear, chips, or debris before seating the insert. Do not force the insert into the pocket by striking it directly.
