Iscar 6499426 Grooving Insert GIPM235 IC908 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 6499426 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Cut-Grip series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries the GIPM235 style designation and runs in the IC908 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting speeds. Cutting width is 2.35 mm (0.0925 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 1.00 mm (0.0390 inches). The neutral hand orientation and positive 7-degree rake angle suit a wide range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, CNC programmers, and toolroom technicians specify this insert for precision grooving work where consistent edge geometry and surface finish matter.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material applicability, with material grade codes C1, C2, C6, and C7, and ISO workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S. That range covers steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and heat-resistant superalloys. It fits standard Cut-Grip series toolholders accepting the GIPM 2.35 insert seat. Typical applications include OD grooving, recessing, and light parting on precision turned components in production and job-shop environments. The MSC/manufacturer cross-reference number is GIPM 2.35-A46R.

Key Features

• IC908 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in interrupted and continuous grooving cuts
• 2.35 mm cutting width and 1.00 mm maximum depth of cut for narrow, controlled groove profiles
• Positive 7-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and deflection on slender workpieces
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with standard Cut-Grip toolholder configurations
• ISO 13399 compliant geometry data for direct integration with CAM toolpath libraries
• 0.05 mm corner radius for defined groove edge geometry without full-radius profile

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR Cut-Grip series toolholders accepting the GIPM 2.35 insert seat. Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S per ISO designation, covering steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous, and superalloy materials. Cross-reference: GIPM 2.35-A46R.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the toolholder manufacturer's torque specifications for the clamping screw. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating to prevent rocking and premature edge failure. Confirm spindle and coolant are off before indexing or replacing inserts. Verify insert grade and geometry match the programmed toolpath parameters before resuming a cut.
