Iscar 6404162 Face Grooving Tool 5mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404162 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on bores and recesses. It cuts in a right-hand direction and features a 5 mm groove width with a 4 mm shank diameter and an overall length of 45 mm (approximately 2.165 inches). Built from solid carbide, the tool delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for precise groove geometry in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling specialists working on turning centers and manual lathes.

This face grooving tool is suited for applications requiring internal face grooves in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 3.70 mm (approximately 0.787 inches). It can reach a maximum hole depth of 27 mm (approximately 1.063 inches), making it appropriate for both shallow and moderately deep bore grooving work. Typical use cases include cutting retaining ring grooves, seal grooves, and relief grooves in precision-machined components across general metalworking, aerospace, and automotive production environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and extended tool life in demanding grooving applications
• 5 mm groove width for consistent, accurate groove profiles
• 4 mm shank diameter fits compatible bore grooving tool holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and turning center setups
• Minimum bore entry of 3.70 mm enables work in small-diameter internal features
• Maximum hole depth of 27 mm supports a range of groove reach requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for face grooving applications requiring a 4 mm shank and 5 mm groove width in right-hand boring and turning setups.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with lathe or turning center tooling. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before securing the shank. Verify shank clamping torque and tool overhang against the machine tool manufacturer specifications. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and refer to ISCAR tooling guidelines for recommended cutting parameters.
