Iscar 6405232 Grooving Insert GIPI330010P IC8250 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405232 is a solid carbide grooving insert carrying the GIPI330010P geometry and IC8250 manufacturer grade. It is designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert features a 0.130-inch (3.30 mm) cutting width, a positive rake angle of 8 degrees, and an Al2O3 PVD coating that supports performance in demanding cut conditions. The double-ended design provides two usable cutting edges per insert, extending tool life per unit. Corner radius measures 0.0039 inches (0.10 mm). Installation is performed by machinists and CNC setup technicians using compatible Cut-Grip toolholders.

This insert is suited for grooving and cut-off applications in both production and job-shop environments. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel and steel, corresponding to ISO material codes M and P. The neutral hand orientation and clamp-style holding method make it compatible with standard Cut-Grip series toolholding systems. The double-end configuration makes it a practical choice for high-cycle production runs where tooling cost per edge matters.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC8250 grade for wear resistance in steel and stainless steel
• Al2O3 PVD coating provides thermal and chemical resistance at the cutting edge
• 0.130-inch (3.30 mm) cutting width suits narrow grooving and parting operations
• Double-ended insert delivers two cutting edges per unit
• Positive rake angle of 8 degrees reduces cutting forces
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for use in digital tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholding systems that accept GIPI-style clamp-mount inserts with a 330010 size code. Verify toolholder bore and clamp compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before accessing the turret or toolholder. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-torque the clamping screw, as this can fracture the insert body. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert.
