Iscar 6404150 Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404150 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal face grooving operations in precision machining applications. Built with a 8 mm shank diameter and a 3 mm groove width, this tool delivers consistent, accurate grooves in bored holes and recessed features. The solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for demanding cutting conditions. With an overall length of 1.9685 inches (50 mm), it is sized for compact tooling setups. This tool is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators working on lathes and turning centers requiring reliable face groove geometry.

The ISCAR 6404150 is suited for face grooving operations where a minimum hole diameter of 0.7874 inches (20 mm) is required. It supports a maximum hole depth of 1.1811 inches (30 mm), making it appropriate for shallow to mid-depth internal face groove profiles. Typical applications include producing retaining ring grooves, O-ring seats, and similar recessed features in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces on CNC lathes and manual turning equipment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and extended tool life in face grooving operations
• 3 mm groove width for precise, consistent groove profiles
• 8 mm shank diameter for secure clamping in standard toolholders
• Minimum hole diameter of 20 mm enables use in relatively small bores
• Maximum hole depth of 30 mm accommodates a range of internal face grooving depths
• Overall length of 50 mm supports compact, low-overhang setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide face grooving tool suitable for use in CNC lathes and turning centers that accept 8 mm shank tooling with compatible toolholders for face grooving applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling setup guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy sources are locked out before mounting or adjusting the tool. Secure the shank firmly in a compatible toolholder to the appropriate clamping torque per the holder manufacturer's specifications. Verify tool runout and groove width prior to cutting to confirm proper seating.
