Iscar 6405120 Grooving Insert GIP478055E IC808 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405120 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 GIP478055E insert style designation and is coated with a multilayer PVD finish combining AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN for heat resistance and extended edge life. The IC808 grade is suited to a wide range of workpiece materials. Key dimensions include a 4.78 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.80 mm, making it appropriate for moderate-depth grooving passes. The double-ended configuration increases usable edge life per insert.

This insert is intended for use in compatible Cut-Grip toolholders on production turning equipment. The neutral hand orientation suits straight-in grooving applications. The positive rake angle of 7 degrees reduces cutting forces, which is beneficial when machining harder or more challenging materials. The E chip breaker geometry promotes chip control during grooving. Typical installers are CNC machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or job-shop environments across ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S.

Key Features

• IC808 grade PVD-coated solid carbide with AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer finish for wear resistance
• 4.78 mm cutting width with a 0.55 mm corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• Maximum depth of cut of 2.80 mm, within the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm rated range
• Double-ended insert design provides two usable cutting edges per unit
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces across universal workpiece materials
• E chip breaker geometry supports consistent chip formation during grooving

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept the GIP-style insert with size code 478055. Compatible with workpiece material groups H, K, M, P, and S per ISO 13399 classification. Confirm toolholder clamping style acceptance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by CNC machinists or qualified toolroom personnel. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe indexed position before replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket and verify the clamp engages correctly before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for this insert geometry.
