Iscar 6403130 Grooving Insert Gipip IC908 Tialn Cut-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6403130 is a GIPIP-style grooving insert from the Cut-Grip series, designed for external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries an IC908 grade with a TiAlN finish applied via PVD coating, delivering strong wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted cuts and continuous grooving passes. A positive rake angle of 8 degrees reduces cutting forces and aids chip control. The P chip breaker geometry supports reliable chip evacuation across a range of feed rates. This insert is used by machinists and toolroom technicians working in production turning environments.

The 6403130 is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. This makes it suitable for grooving carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature superalloys. A maximum depth of cut of 2.50 mm supports standard grooving and parting applications. The insert seats in ISCAR Cut-Grip toolholders designed for the GIPI insert style and size code 196010. Typical applications include groove turning on shafts, bushings, and similar rotational components in both job shop and production settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified seating procedure to ensure proper insert clamping without over-torquing the clamp screw. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
