It features a 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) cutting width and carries the IC908 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for elevated wear resistance and thermal stability at high cutting speeds. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard Cut-Grip toolholders. The J chip breaker geometry promotes positive rake cutting action, helping control chip flow and reduce cutting forces across a broad range of workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC programmers working in production turning environments will recognize this insert as a direct-fit component for Cut-Grip grooving systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for use in turning operations targeting materials classified under ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, general steels, and heat-resistant superalloys. The universal primary workpiece material designation reflects its multi-material capability within a single insert grade. Typical applications include grooving, plunge-turning, and light parting on medium-to-small diameter workpieces in both job shop and production environments. The single-end configuration delivers consistent cutting edge geometry for predictable insert indexing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIC908 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for wear resistance in high-speed grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) cutting width with 0.0087 inch (0.22 mm) corner radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle of 7.00 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJ chip breaker geometry for effective chip control across material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation for compatibility with standard Cut-Grip toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ISO 13399 standards for tool data representation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders accepting GIM insert style, size 3J.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing any insert. Seat the insert fully and evenly in the toolholder pocket and secure the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert seating surface and pocket for chips or debris before clamping to avoid insert rocking or premature edge failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0087 inches (0.22 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6024 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: IC908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.00 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cut-Grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C1, C2, C6, C7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISCAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6403178\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745808253234,"sku":"6403178","price":234.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f1110141812baebb90a654c8cc67076b.jpg?v=1788865274","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-6403178-grooving-insert-gim3j-ic908-tialn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
