Iscar 6404331 Grooving Insert GIMF508F IC830 5mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6404331 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GIMF508F geometry with an IC830 grade substrate and a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN coating for elevated heat resistance and wear life. The insert delivers a 5 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm, making it well suited for consistent, repeatable groove profiles. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees and an F chip breaker geometry promote controlled chip evacuation during interrupted or continuous cuts. Machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert as a single-ended, clamp-held replacement in compatible Cut-Grip toolholders.

This insert is engineered primarily for machining superalloys and titanium alloys, workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes M, P, and S. Those applications demand a coating and substrate combination capable of handling high cutting temperatures and abrasive chip loads. Typical use scenarios include aerospace component turning, medical implant part production, and other precision industries where tight groove tolerances and surface finish are critical. The insert conforms to ISO 13399 standards, which simplifies tool data exchange in CAM and tool management systems. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 10 units per order.

Key Features

• IC830 grade solid carbide substrate with PVD AlTiN and TiN dual coating for heat and wear resistance
• 5 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut range of 3 mm to 4 mm
• Positive rake angle of 7 degrees with F chip breaker for controlled chip flow
• 0.80 mm corner radius reduces stress concentration at groove edges
• GIMF insert style with clamp holding method for rigid, repeatable seating
• Conforms to ISO 13399 for direct integration with CAM tool libraries

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Cut-Grip series clamping toolholders that accept the GIMF 508 insert size. Verified compatible workpiece materials include superalloys and titanium, per the supplier-specified primary workpiece material classifications.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket and verify clamp torque with the toolholder manufacturer's recommended procedure before resuming cutting. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for the insert size, as overloading can cause insert fracture or toolholder damage.
