Iscar 6492404 Grooving Insert GIP300E080P IC8250 3mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6492404 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the Cut-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This double-ended insert carries the IC8250 grade designation and features an Al2O3 CVD coating for wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. With a 3 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 13 mm, it is suited for precision groove profiles in production turning environments. The self-grip holding method provides secure insert retention without additional clamping hardware. Licensed machinists and CNC turning operators are the primary installers of this insert type.

This insert is intended for use in grooving and parting applications on stainless steel and steel workpieces, covering ISO material groups M and P. Its positive 7-degree rake angle supports chip control in these materials. The P chip breaker geometry, combined with the full-radius-free profile and 0.79 mm corner radius, makes it suitable for medium-depth grooves in tight-tolerance production runs. The double-ended design extends usable insert life per unit, making it a practical choice for high-volume turning operations.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Cut-Grip series toolholders that accept the GIP 300E080 insert size. Verify toolholder pocket specifications against the ISO code GIP 3.00E-0.80 before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked-out state per facility LOTO procedures. Use the recommended ISCAR torx or hex key for self-grip toolholders and do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamping procedure. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for debris or wear before seating a new insert. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edges prior to use.
