Iscar 6403918 Grooving Insert GIQR1115200 IC528 Chamgroove

Product Description

The ISCAR 6403918 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the ChamGroove series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC528 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiCN and TiN coating, delivering wear resistance and edge stability when cutting superalloys and titanium. The insert has a 2.01 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.30 mm, making it suitable for moderate-depth groove profiles. The GIQR style is right-hand oriented and uses a screw-clamping holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders. Machinists and CNC programmers working in aerospace, medical, and high-performance manufacturing will find this insert suited to demanding interrupted and continuous grooving passes.

This insert is intended for turning and grooving applications where the primary workpiece materials are superalloys and titanium, corresponding to ISO material codes M, P, and S. It fits within the ChamGroove toolholder system and is a single-end insert, meaning each insert provides one cutting edge. Typical use cases include external grooving, face grooving, and parting on precision turning equipment in industrial and production machining environments. The screw-lock holding method ensures consistent tool positioning across high-volume runs.

Key Features

• IC528 grade with PVD TiCN and TiN coating for extended tool life in superalloy and titanium cutting
• 2.01 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 6.30 mm
• 1.00 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• Screw-clamping insert holding method for rigid, repeatable seating
• GIQR right-hand insert style; single-end cutting configuration
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ChamGroove series toolholders that accept the GIQR 11 insert size. ISO code GIQR 11-15-2.00-R100 identifies the exact insert geometry for toolholder matching. Verify toolholder pocket size and screw specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the toolholder specification — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Confirm the insert is fully seated in the pocket before resuming any cutting operation. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when indexing or replacing carbide inserts.
