Iscar 6405207 Grooving Insert GIFI500E050F IC8250

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405207 is a solid carbide double-ended grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the IC8250 manufacturer grade with a CVD-applied Al2O3 coating that provides thermal resistance and wear protection during high-speed cutting. The insert features a 5.00 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 15.49 mm, and a self-grip holding method that seats securely in compatible Cut-Grip toolholders. The F chip breaker geometry and positive rake angle of 8 degrees promote efficient chip evacuation. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in production and job-shop turning applications.

This insert is suited for grooving stainless steel and carbon steel workpiece materials in both roughing and finishing passes within the defined depth-of-cut range. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard straight grooving setups. The double-end design extends usable tool life by providing two cutting edges per insert. With a cutting height of 5.00 mm and an overall length of 15.70 mm, it fits turning centers where compact insert geometry is required for tight-clearance grooving work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Verify that the toolholder pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before installing to ensure proper self-grip seating. Do not exceed the maximum depth-of-cut range of 10.00 mm to 20.00 mm for which this insert is rated.
