Iscar 6404156 Face Grooving Tool 4mm Groove Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404156 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on CNC turning centers and manual lathes. It features an 8 mm shank diameter and cuts a 4 mm groove width, making it suited for precise face groove profiles in bores starting at 20 mm minimum hole diameter. The overall tool length is 50 mm (1.9685 inches), and it reaches a maximum hole depth of 30 mm (1.1811 inches). Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in demanding turning applications, including stainless steel, alloy steel, and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tooling specialists in production and job-shop environments are the primary users.

This face grooving tool is intended for internal face groove operations in bores with a minimum diameter of 20 mm. It is commonly used in CNC turning and live-tooling setups where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are required. Typical applications include groove profiles for snap rings, seals, and bearing retention features in machined components. The 4 mm groove width and 30 mm maximum depth make it appropriate for moderate-depth face grooves in a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in high-demand turning operations
• 4 mm groove width for precise internal face groove profiles
• 8 mm shank diameter for secure tool holding in standard boring bar setups
• Minimum hole diameter of 20 mm (0.7874 inches) allows access to smaller bore sizes
• Maximum hole depth of 30 mm (1.1811 inches) suits moderate-depth face groove requirements
• Compact overall length of 50 mm (1.9685 inches) reduces overhang and vibration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide face grooving tool suitable for use in CNC turning centers and manual lathes equipped with standard boring bar or shank-type tool holders accepting an 8 mm shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all motion has ceased before mounting or removing the tool. Secure the 8 mm shank firmly in the tool holder to the tool holder manufacturer's specified clamping method to minimize runout. Verify bore clearance meets the 20 mm minimum hole diameter requirement before entering the workpiece to avoid tool or part damage.
