Iscar 6495326 Grooving Insert 3mm Pcd Cut-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 6495326 is a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) grooving insert designed for precision ID and OD grooving operations on non-ferrous metals. Part of the Cut-Grip series, it carries a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.50 mm, making it suitable for tight-tolerance groove profiles. The insert is uncoated and features a neutral hand orientation with a positive rake angle of 7 degrees, reducing cutting forces on softer, gummy materials such as aluminum, copper, and brass. It is installed via a clamp-style holding method and is double-ended, offering two usable cutting edges per insert to extend service intervals.

This insert is intended for use in Cut-Grip compatible grooving toolholders on CNC lathes and turning centers. It is sized for internal and external grooving applications on non-ferrous workpieces where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical. Typical installation scenarios include high-volume production turning of aluminum components, bearing housings, and hydraulic fittings. The GIPA insert style and 300150 size code should be matched to a compatible Cut-Grip toolholder for proper seating and clamping force.

Key Features

• 3.00 mm cutting width with a 1.50 mm maximum depth of cut for precise, narrow groove profiles
• Positive rake angle of 7 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Double-ended insert geometry provides two cutting edges per insert
• Clamp-style insert holding method ensures secure, repeatable seating in the toolholder
• Manufactured to ISO 13399 standards for tooling data compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with Cut-Grip series toolholders accepting the GIPA insert style in 300150 size. Intended for non-ferrous metal workpieces as designated by primary workpiece material code N.

Installation Notes

This insert should be installed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified clamp screw and torquing procedure outlined in the Cut-Grip toolholder documentation. Inspect the toolholder pocket for chips or damage before seating a new insert to ensure proper clamping and edge registration.
