Iscar 6405402 Carbide Cutoff Insert 2mm Grooving

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405402 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert from the Swisscut series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC and Swiss-type turning machines. It carries the IC1008 manufacturer grade with a TiAlN/TiN PVD coating, providing wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert delivers a 2.00 mm cutting width (0.0787 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 7.00 mm (0.2756 inches), making it well-suited for tight-tolerance cutoff work where consistent chip control and surface finish matter.

This insert is intended for grooving and parting applications in production turning environments. The Swisscut series is engineered for Swiss-type and fixed-headstock lathes where rigidity and insert repeatability are critical. The IC1008 grade with PVD coating targets universal workpiece material compatibility, spanning steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials as indicated by ISO material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is held in place by a screw-clamping method, supporting secure seating under the interrupted-cut conditions common in parting operations.

Key Features

• IC1008 grade with TiAlN/TiN PVD coating for wear resistance across universal workpiece materials
• 2.00 mm cutting width with a 0.10 mm corner radius for fine grooving and clean parting faces
• Maximum depth of cut of 7.00 mm supports both shallow grooves and full cutoff passes
• Screw-clamping insert holding method ensures positive, repeatable seating
• Neutral lead angle, right-hand orientation for standard radial grooving setups
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for system integration

Compatibility

Designed for use in Swisscut series screw-clamp toolholders that accept SCIR-style inserts with a size code 22. Compatible with tooling systems configured for 2.00 mm grooving and parting inserts. Verify holder designation against ISCAR Swisscut toolholder specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when tightening the clamping screw — do not overtighten, as this can damage the insert seat. Confirm insert seating is flush and secure before resuming cutting operations.
