Iscar 6404084 GIMF608F IC808 Grooving Insert 6mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404084 is a solid carbide grooving insert carrying the GIMF608F geometry in ISCAR grade IC808. Designed for the Cut-Grip toolholding system, this single-end insert features a self-grip holding method and a PVD-applied multilayer coating of AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN. The 6 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.60 mm make it well suited for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The positive 7-degree rake angle and submicron carbide substrate combine to deliver consistent edge integrity across a broad range of workpiece materials.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. That range includes steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hardened materials, and high-temperature superalloys. It is typically installed and managed by machinists and CNC operators in production turning applications where repeatable groove geometry and tight dimensional tolerances are required. The F chip breaker geometry supports chip control across varying feed and depth conditions within the specified cut range.

Key Features

• 6 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3.60 mm
• IC808 grade with PVD-coated AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer finish for wear resistance
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces on the workpiece
• Self-grip insert holding method compatible with Cut-Grip system toolholders
• Submicron carbide substrate for edge toughness and thermal stability
• F chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation during grooving

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept the GIMF 608 insert style and size. Verify toolholder seat dimensions and clamping geometry before installation. Consult the ISCAR Cut-Grip catalog for confirmed holder pairings.

Installation Notes

Installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine in a full stop, de-energized state. Use the correct torque wrench and insert key specified for Cut-Grip clamping components to seat the insert properly without over-torquing the locking mechanism. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Never force the insert into the pocket; correct seating relies on the self-grip geometry engaging cleanly.
