Iscar 6405004 Grooving Insert GIFI500050E IC830 5mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405004 is a solid carbide grooving insert carrying grade IC830 and designed for use in Cut-Grip series toolholders. The insert style is GIFI, with a neutral hand orientation and a double-end configuration that extends usable tool life. A PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN coating provides heat resistance and wear protection during aggressive cutting cycles. The 5.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.50 mm make this insert well-suited for precision grooving operations where tight dimensional tolerances are required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working with high-performance materials will find this insert conformant to ISO 13399 standards.

This insert is intended for grooving applications on superalloys and titanium, corresponding to ISO workpiece material codes M, P, and S. The IC830 grade combined with the PVD coating process is specifically effective when machining these difficult-to-cut materials at controlled cutting parameters. A positive rake angle of 8 degrees and chip breaker style E support smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces in both OD and face grooving scenarios on CNC turning centers.

Key Features

• IC830 solid carbide grade with PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN coating for extended tool life in superalloy and titanium cutting
• 5.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.50 mm
• Positive rake angle of 8 degrees for reduced cutting forces
• Double-end insert design maximizes usable cutting edges per insert
• Chip breaker style E for effective chip control during grooving
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for compatibility with tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Cut-Grip series clamping toolholders that accept GIFI-style inserts with a 500050 insert size designation. Consult ISCAR toolholder documentation to confirm correct clamp and pocket fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct ISCAR clamp torque tool and seat the insert fully into the pocket before tightening the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris prior to each insert change to avoid seating errors that can damage the holder.
