Iscar 6405089 Grooving Insert GIF500040E IC808 5mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405089 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the manufacturer grade IC808 and a PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating, this insert delivers hardness and thermal resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. The cutting width measures 5.00 mm (0.197 inches), and the maximum depth of cut reaches 3.00 mm (0.118 inches). The double-ended GIF-style insert belongs to the Cut-Grip series and is held in place by a clamp-style toolholder. Installation and indexing are performed by qualified CNC machinists and toolroom technicians.

This insert is suited for universal workpiece material categories including ferrous metals, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, hardened materials, and superalloys, corresponding to ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. It is applied in both production and job-shop turning environments where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are required. The chip breaker style is E, and the positive rake angle of 7.00 degrees promotes efficient chip evacuation in grooving applications.

Key Features

• IC808 grade PVD coating combining AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN layers for wear and heat resistance
• 5.00 mm cutting width with 0.40 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut range of 3.00 to 4.00 mm (0.118 to 0.150 inches)
• Double-ended insert design allows two cutting edges per insert
• Positive rake angle of 7.00 degrees reduces cutting forces and aids chip flow
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with Cut-Grip series GIF-style clamp-type toolholders accepting the 500040 insert size designation. Compatible with universal workpiece material groups H, K, M, P, and S per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket and verify clamp engagement before resuming cuts. Use proper insert handling tools to avoid chipping the cutting edge. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping specifications for the specific holder in use.
