Dorian Tool 73310162956 Sgih Indexable Cutoff Blade

Product Description

The DORIAN TOOL 73310162956 is an SGIH-style double end neutral indexable cutoff blade designed for cut-off and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The blade measures 31.80 mm (1.252 inches) in height, 2.39 mm (0.094 inches) in width, and 149.90 mm (5.9016 inches) overall length. It accepts SGT-style inserts in size code 5 with a fixed 3.00 mm insert width, providing consistent groove width and clean parting cuts. Engineered for both left-hand and right-hand setups, this neutral-orientation blade offers flexible positioning in the tool block without requiring a dedicated handed holder.

This blade is suited for production turning environments where cut-off and grooving are performed on workpieces up to 3.937 inches in diameter. The double-end design extends service life by allowing the blade to be flipped when one end shows wear, reducing tooling cost per part. It is part of the Slot Grip series and is appropriate for use in both high-volume production shops and job shops running mixed turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
