Iscar 6405436 Cutoff Insert IC1008 Carbide 1.5mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6405436 is a solid carbide cutoff and grooving insert carrying manufacturer grade IC1008 with a TiAlN and TiN PVD coating. It features a 1.5 mm (0.0591 inches) cutting width and is engineered for the Swisscut series, where screw-style clamping holds the insert securely during high-precision turning operations. The right-hand lead angle of 16 degrees and a 7-degree relief angle promote clean chip evacuation and reduce rubbing on the workpiece. Machinists and CNC lathe operators working in job shops or production environments rely on this insert for parting and grooving applications that demand tight dimensional control and repeatable tool life.

This insert is suited for grooving and parting operations on a broad range of workpiece materials, spanning steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, high-temperature alloys, and other materials covered under ISO material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its universal material compatibility makes it a practical stock item for shops running mixed-material production. The Swisscut series is commonly found on Swiss-style and fixed-headstock CNC lathes where small-diameter, high-precision turning is the primary operation. This insert ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units per order.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC1008 manufacturer grade for wear resistance in demanding cutting conditions
• PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating for extended tool life across universal workpiece materials
• 1.5 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 5.5 mm (0.2165 inches)
• Right-hand, 16-degree lead angle with 7-degree relief angle for effective chip control
• Screw-held insert style provides positive, repeatable seating in compatible Swisscut toolholders
• Single-end design; conforms to ISO 13399 standards for insert identification and data exchange

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Swisscut series toolholders that accept SCIR style inserts with a size code of 22. Compatible with workpiece material grades C1, C2, C3, C5, and C6 as defined by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully stopped and the spindle locked before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification; do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide body. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Verify correct insert orientation and lead angle direction match the programmed toolpath before resuming cuts.
