Iscar 2300728 Indexable Cutoff Tool Block Sgtbn

Product Description

The ISCAR 2300728 is an indexable cutoff blade tool block designed for parting and cut-off operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the SGTBN style, this tool block accepts indexable Self Grip and Self Grip T-Cut series blades, providing a rigid, repeatable clamping platform for high-precision grooving and cutoff work. The block features a 1.02 inch blade height and a 3 inch overall length, with a square shank profile measuring 0.63 inches in both height and width. It is suited for machinists and toolroom professionals running production turning or job-shop cutoff operations where consistent blade registration and quick insert changes are priorities.

This tool block is appropriate for use in manual and CNC lathes across general machining environments, including production shops and toolrooms handling metal cutting applications. The neutral cutting direction insert orientation makes it compatible with standard right-to-left feed cutoff operations. The SGTBN style designation aligns this block with the ISCAR Self Grip system, a common platform in shops already running ISCAR indexable grooving and parting tooling. Installation is typically performed by machinists or toolroom technicians setting up turning operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the lathe or turning center is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before mounting or adjusting the tool block. Use appropriate torque on all clamping fasteners in accordance with the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Verify cutting height alignment with a tool height gauge before running the first part.
