Iscar 6405079 GIMF608F IC830 Grooving Insert 6mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405079 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the GIMF608F designation, indicating a size 608 insert with an F chip breaker geometry and a neutral hand orientation. The IC830 grade features a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN coating over a carbide substrate, optimizing performance on superalloys and titanium. The cutting width is 6 millimeters with a maximum depth of cut reaching 3.6 millimeters, and a corner radius of 0.80 millimeters. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in precision turning environments.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting applications in production and job-shop turning operations. Its IC830 PVD-coated grade is targeted at superalloys and titanium workpieces, materials commonly encountered in aerospace, medical, and energy component machining. The positive rake angle of 7 degrees and F chip breaker geometry support controlled chip formation in these demanding materials. The insert mounts via a clamp-style holding method compatible with Cut-Grip toolholders. It is a single-end insert, meaning each unit provides one cutting edge. The multi-use designation indicates it can be applied across a range of grooving scenarios within its size range.
