Iscar 6405154 Grooving Insert GIP478055E IC830 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405154 is a solid carbide grooving insert carrying the GIP478055E designation and IC830 manufacturer grade, designed for use in Cut-Grip series toolholders on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a 4.78 mm (0.188 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.80 mm (0.110 inch). A PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating delivers thermal resistance and edge hardness suited to interrupted cuts and high-heat applications. The double-ended design extends usable tool life per insert. Machining professionals and CNC operators install this insert in production turning environments where tool change efficiency and consistent performance matter.

This insert is engineered for grooving and parting operations with a neutral hand orientation, making it compatible with both left- and right-approach tooling setups. Its primary workpiece material designations cover superalloys, titanium, and steel (ISO material codes M, P, and S), placing it squarely in aerospace and high-performance manufacturing applications. The positive rake angle of 7 degrees and E-style chip breaker geometry promote controlled chip evacuation when machining difficult materials. Clamp-style insert holding secures the insert in compatible Cut-Grip holders during operation.

Key Features

• IC830 grade solid carbide substrate with PVD AlTiN and TiN coating for high-temperature wear resistance
• 4.78 mm cutting width with a 0.55 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry
• Double-ended insert design provides two cutting edges per unit
• Positive 7-degree rake angle with E chip breaker for efficient chip control
• Rated for superalloys, titanium, and steel workpiece materials (ISO codes M, P, S)
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for simplified tool management

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Cut-Grip series clamping toolholders that accept GIP-style inserts with the 478055 insert size designation. Verify toolholder seat and clamping specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

CNC machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert type by securing it in the appropriate Cut-Grip clamping toolholder using the designated clamp screw and torx key supplied with the holder. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the control placed in E-stop or lockout-tagout condition before any insert change. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or contamination before seating the insert. Confirm correct insert orientation for neutral-hand operation before resuming cuts.
