Iscar 6405002 Grooving Insert IC830 3mm Cut-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405002 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. Carrying the GIP300020P geometry in ISCAR grade IC830, this insert features a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 13.00 mm. The IC830 grade is applied via a PVD coating process, delivering an AlTiN and TiN finish that provides thermal resistance and edge integrity during interrupted or continuous cuts. A positive rake angle of 7 degrees and the P chip breaker geometry promote controlled chip flow and reduced cutting forces. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists working in precision manufacturing environments.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications on superalloys and titanium as its primary workpiece materials, with secondary applicability to steel and stainless workpiece material codes M, P, and S. It fits within the ISCAR Cut-Grip series tooling system and is clamped in place using a compatible Cut-Grip insert holder. The neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to standard right-hand turning setups. Typical applications include groove profiling, face grooving lead-ins, and parting operations in aerospace and precision machining shops where tight groove tolerances are required.

Key Features

• 3.00 mm cutting width with a 0.20 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• IC830 PVD-coated grade with AlTiN and TiN finish for high-temperature resistance on superalloys and titanium
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• P chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip evacuation in continuous and interrupted cuts
• Cut-Grip series clamp-style holding method ensures secure insert seating under load
• Compliant with ISO 13399 insert data standards for integration with tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series clamping holders that accept GIP-style inserts with the 300020 insert size code. Specific compatible holder models were not provided in the product data; consult the ISCAR Cut-Grip tooling catalog to verify holder compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists using the appropriate ISCAR Cut-Grip clamping wrench; ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut of 13.00 mm or the operational limits of the holder. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper clamping force and positioning. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and ISCAR tooling guidelines for recommended feed rates and speeds based on workpiece material.
