| Features | Flat insert without chipbreaker for ISO K materials. It has high structural strength and excellent support on the toolholder: it is the safest choice for unstable and interrupted cuts on cast iron. 60° triangular shape: 6 usable cutting edges (3 per side), very versatile for longitudinal turning and facing with a wide choice of toolholders. |
Available INNOT grades
| Grade | ISO | Coating | Composition | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IT6115 ★ | K | CVD | TiN + MT-TiCN + Al₂O₃ | First-choice grade for turning cast iron. Thicker black CVD coating with special post-coating treatment: excellent wear resistance and toughness. Also suitable for roughing high-strength steels. |
★ Recommended grade for this chipbreaker. CVD = chemical vapour deposition coating. ISO K = cast irons.

Guide values. The flat insert is especially suitable for unstable and interrupted cuts.
Internal turning (boring) of cast iron (ISO K)
Starting values for internal turning with a boring bar, derived from this insert's external turning data: cutting speed −15%, feed −20%, maximum depth of cut −40%. Negative inserts are mounted on boring bars for bores from about Ø 25 mm upwards (Ø 32–40 mm for the larger sizes).

With a boring bar overhang above 3 times the diameter (steel bar) or 5 times (carbide or anti-vibration bar), reduce speed and feed further. Use the bar's internal coolant to clear the chips.
