Iscar 6404323 Grooving Insert GIF600E040F IC8250 6mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404323 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the GIF600E040F geometry and IC8250 manufacturer grade, this insert features a 6 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 13 mm. The IC8250 grade incorporates a CVD-applied Al2O3 coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. A positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces, while the F chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation. Installation is performed via a mechanical clamp-style holding method. This insert is suited for machinists and tooling technicians working in production or job-shop environments.

This insert is intended for grooving and cutoff operations on stainless steel and steel workpieces, making it well-suited for aerospace, medical, and general industrial part production. The neutral hand orientation allows use on standard right-hand toolholders in the Cut-Grip system. With a corner radius of 0.40 mm, it handles light to medium groove profiles with consistent dimensional accuracy. The 13 mm maximum depth of cut supports grooves in the 10 mm to 20 mm depth-of-cut range, covering a broad range of turned part geometries. This insert complies with ISO 13399 tooling data standards, simplifying integration into CAM software and tool management systems.

Key Features

• IC8250 CVD-coated grade with Al2O3 finish for thermal resistance in steel and stainless steel cutting
• 6 mm cutting width with a 0.40 mm corner radius for precise groove profiles
• Maximum depth of cut of 13 mm, rated for a depth-of-cut range of 10 mm to 20 mm
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and heat generation at the insert tip
• F chip breaker geometry promotes chip control in continuous and interrupted groove cuts
• ISO 13399 compliant for direct integration with CAM and tool management software

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series clamping toolholders that accept GIF-style grooving inserts. Compatible with toolholder systems configured for the GIF600E040F insert size and clamp-style holding method. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel (ISO M) and steel (ISO P).

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or tooling technician using the appropriate Cut-Grip clamping toolholder. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing any insert. Ensure the insert pocket and clamp surfaces are clean and free of chips before installation to maintain proper seating and dimensional accuracy. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for the insert size.
