Iscar 6404112 Grooving Insert GIP300020P IC808 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404112 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision groove turning and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GIP300020P geometry in the IC808 submicron carbide grade and is finished with a PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating for extended tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials. The cutting width is 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches) and the maximum depth of cut is 13.00 mm (0.5118 inches). The double-ended configuration allows the insert to be flipped for a second cutting edge, reducing cost per part. This insert belongs to the Cut-Grip series and is held in place by a clamp-style toolholder.

This insert is suited for grooving, recessing, and light parting on workpieces classified under the universal material category, covering ISO material groups P (steel), M (stainless), K (cast iron), H (hardened), and S (superalloys). It performs in both light finishing and moderate-stock-removal scenarios. The positive rake angle of 7 degrees and P-style chip breaker support controlled chip formation in continuous and interrupted groove cuts. It is used by CNC machinists and tool room technicians in job shop and production environments on standard Cut-Grip compatible toolholders.

Key Features

• IC808 submicron carbide grade with PVD coating combining AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN layers for thermal and wear resistance
• 3.00 mm cutting width with a 0.20 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut of 13.00 mm; rated depth-of-cut range of 10.00 mm to 20.00 mm
• Double-ended insert provides two usable cutting edges per insert
• Positive 7-degree rake angle and P chip breaker for chip control across universal workpiece materials
• Clamp-style insert holding for rigid, repeatable seating in Cut-Grip toolholders
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style insert for Cut-Grip series clamp-style grooving toolholders accepting the GIP 300020 insert size. Compatible with ISO material groups P, M, K, H, and S workpiece materials as indicated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by a qualified CNC machinist or tool room technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing any insert. Use the appropriate Cut-Grip clamp key to secure the insert fully before running; do not operate with a partially seated insert. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and edge repeatability.
