Iscar 2301424 Grooving Cutoff Toolholder Left Hand

Product Description

The ISCAR 2301424 is a left-hand indexable grooving and cutoff toolholder in the Do Grip series, designed for precision groove machining and part cutoff operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It accepts DG. 1.. and DG. 2.. series inserts, held in place by a clamp-style insert retention method. Groove width range runs from 0.075 to 0.098 inches, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.591 inches. The shank measures 0.500 inches square and 4.330 inches in length, giving a total overall length of 5.500 inches. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians will find this holder suited to tight-clearance left-hand turning setups.

This toolholder is intended for grooving and cutoff applications in production and job-shop turning environments. Its compact head length of 1.170 inches keeps overhang minimal while maintaining access to workpiece features close to chucks or fixtures. The left-hand orientation suits operations where conventional right-hand holders cannot access the required face or where secondary operations require opposed tooling. Compatible insert size codes include DGN/DGNM-J/JS/JT and DGR/L-J/JS, covering a range of Do Grip insert geometries for steel, stainless, and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine in a locked-out, zero-energy state before any toolholder change. Seat the shank fully in the toolpost pocket and confirm clamping torque per the machine tool manufacturer's specification before resuming operation. Verify insert seating and clamp engagement before taking a test cut. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for the insert and holder combination.
