Iscar 2301418 Grooving Cutoff Toolholder Left Hand

Product Description

The ISCAR 2301418 is a left-hand indexable grooving and cut-off toolholder in the Do Grip series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It accepts DG. 14.. style inserts secured by a clamp-style holding method. The toolholder features a 0.5 inch square shank, an overall length of 5.5 inches, and a maximum depth of cut of 0.591 inches. Groove width is fixed at 0.055 inches, making it well suited for narrow groove and cut-off work where consistent width and repeatability are required. Machinists and tool room technicians install this holder into standard square-shank toolposts.

This toolholder is intended for use in metal cutting applications requiring precise grooving or parting on turned components. It is compatible with the Do Grip insert system using DGN/DGNM-J/JS/JT and DGR/L-J/JS insert size codes. Typical applications include external grooving and cut-off operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in production turning environments, including both small-batch and high-volume machining. The left-hand orientation accommodates specific toolpost positioning or feed direction requirements on the machine.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool room technician. Before mounting, ensure the lathe or turning center is fully powered down and the spindle is locked. The 0.5 inch square shank must be properly seated and clamped in the toolpost to the correct centerline height before operation. Do not exceed the insert manufacturer's recommended cutting parameters for the selected insert grade and workpiece material.
