Iscar 6404002 Grooving Insert Pcd 6mm Cut-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404002 is a double-ended grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for precision ID and OD grooving operations on non-ferrous metals and other materials suited to polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tooling. Carrying manufacturer grade ID5, this uncoated PCD insert delivers a 6 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm. The neutral hand orientation and positive 7-degree rake angle reduce cutting forces and help produce clean, accurate grooves. It is installed using a clamp-style holding method and conforms to ISO 13399 standards. Machinists and toolroom professionals working with aluminum, copper, composites, and similar non-ferrous workpieces are the primary users.

This insert is intended for grooving applications on non-ferrous metals, including aluminum alloys, copper, and other materials coded N under ISO workpiece material classification. The Cut-Grip series is a common platform in production turning and grooving environments where consistent groove width and depth control are critical. The double-ended design extends usable insert life by providing two cutting edges per insert. Typical applications include groove turning on CNC lathes and turning centers in both job-shop and high-volume production settings.

Key Features

• 6 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm
• Double-ended insert provides two usable cutting edges per unit
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and aids chip flow
• YZ chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure seating in Cut-Grip toolholders
• Conforms to ISO 13399 for standardized tool data exchange

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept GIPA-style inserts with a 600300 insert size. Consult the ISCAR Cut-Grip catalog to confirm toolholder compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and insert changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate clamp screw and torque driver specified for the Cut-Grip toolholder system. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating the insert. Handle PCD inserts carefully — the cutting edges are brittle and can chip if dropped or contacted with hard surfaces.
