Iscar 6492484 Grooving Insert GIMF502F IC8250 5 Mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 6492484 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the IC8250 grade with a CVD-applied Al2O3 coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting speeds. The neutral hand orientation and self-grip holding method allow direct drop-in mounting into compatible Cut-Grip toolholders without additional clamping hardware. At 5 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3 mm, it suits fine grooving passes on stainless steel and carbon steel workpieces. Machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is intended for grooving, parting, and profiling operations in precision turning environments. Its primary workpiece materials are stainless steel and carbon steel, making it well suited for aerospace, medical, and general industrial component machining. The F chip breaker geometry produces a positive rake angle of 7 degrees, promoting controlled chip evacuation in these materials. The self-grip design is compatible with ISCAR Cut-Grip toolholder pockets sized for the 502 insert series. This insert is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units per purchase.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct insert seating tool or torx key specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not force the insert by hand. Inspect the toolholder pocket for chips or wear before each insert change to ensure proper seating and grip retention.
