Iscar 6405124 Grooving Insert GIPI478055P IC808 0.188 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405124 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the Cut-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC808 grade with a PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating, which supports high cutting speeds across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 0.188 inch (4.78 mm) cutting width, a double-ended design for extended tool life per insert, and a positive rake angle of 8 degrees. The P chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation during grooving. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible Cut-Grip toolholders as a consumable cutting element.

This insert is suited for use in precision turning and grooving applications in both production and job-shop environments. The IC808 grade is rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S, which include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hardened materials, and high-temperature alloys. The clamp-style insert holding method provides secure seating during interrupted cuts and high-feed operations. Its double-ended configuration makes it a cost-effective option in high-volume turning cells where insert changeover frequency is a factor.

Key Features

• IC808 grade solid carbide with PVD-applied AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN multilayer coating
• 0.188 inch (4.78 mm) cutting width with a 0.0217 inch (0.55 mm) corner radius
• Double-ended insert geometry for two cutting edges per insert
• Positive rake angle of 8 degrees with P chip breaker for controlled chip evacuation
• Compatible with ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S for universal application
• Clamp-style insert holding method for rigid, repeatable seating in Cut-Grip toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept the GIPI insert style with size code 478055. Verify toolholder pocket specifications against the insert dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench or clamp screw driver specified for the toolholder to secure the clamp without over-tightening. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating the new insert, and verify tool offset data in the CNC control after any insert change.
