Iscar 6405388 Grooving Insert ING3105 IC808 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405388 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for external grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Designated as style ING in the Notch-Grip series, this double-ended insert features a 0.105 inch cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.150 inches. The IC808 grade substrate is finished with a PVD-applied multilayer coating of AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN, providing wear resistance and thermal stability across a wide range of workpiece materials. It is installed and changed by machinists and CNC operators using compatible Notch-Grip toolholders.

This insert is suited for grooving applications in both light and general-purpose machining environments. The positive rake geometry and 3-degree lead angle support clean chip formation and reduced cutting forces. The universal primary workpiece material designation makes it applicable across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature superalloys, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H. It is a right-hand cut configuration with a clamp-style insert holding method.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with IC808 grade for extended tool life in demanding cuts
• PVD multilayer coating: AlTiN, TiAlN, and TiN for heat and wear resistance
• 0.105 inch cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 0.150 inches
• Positive rake angle of 3 degrees for reduced cutting forces and improved chip control
• Double-ended insert design allows two usable cutting edges per insert
• Corner radius of 0.008 inches for controlled edge engagement
• Clamp-style holding method for secure seating in Notch-Grip toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Notch-Grip series toolholders that accept ING-style inserts with an insert seat size of 3. The manufacturer cross-reference number is ING 3105R. Verify toolholder compatibility with ISCAR documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert securely. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or wear before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for the insert grade in use.
