Iscar 6403912 Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide 7mm Shank

Product Description

The ISCAR 6403912 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on turned components. It features a 7 mm shank diameter and cuts a 3 mm wide groove, making it suited for precise face groove profiles in bore diameters starting at 8 mm. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent performance on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. With an overall length of 35 mm and a projection of 20 mm, the tool balances reach and stability in confined bore environments. Machinists and tooling specialists working on CNC lathes and turning centers are the primary users of this tooling solution.

This face grooving tool is intended for use in internal face grooving applications where bore access requires a compact, rigid tool body. It is suitable for machining face grooves in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 8 mm and a maximum hole depth of 20 mm. The 3 mm groove width makes it appropriate for standard retaining ring grooves, seal grooves, and similar features in precision turned parts. It is commonly used in production and job-shop turning environments where dimensional accuracy and surface finish in the groove are critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 3 mm groove width for standard face groove profiles
• 7 mm shank diameter compatible with matching ISCAR toolholders and boring bar systems
• 20 mm projection allows reach into bores up to 20 mm deep
• Minimum bore entry of 8 mm suits small-diameter internal grooving work
• Compact 35 mm overall length for use in tight turning center setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling component for ISCAR face grooving systems accepting a 7 mm shank diameter. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC tooling technicians on turning centers or manual lathes. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified clamping method to prevent pullout during cutting. Verify bore clearance and projection before engaging the workpiece to avoid tool or workpiece damage.
