Iscar 2301458 Indexable Cutoff Blade Double End Neutral

Product Description

The ISCAR 2301458 is a double-end neutral indexable cutoff and grooving blade from the Do-Grip series, designed for use in CNC turning centers and manual lathes. The blade measures 30 mm (1.1811 inches) in height, 4 mm (0.1575 inches) in width, and 50.5 mm (1.9882 inches) in overall length. The HGAD blade style uses a self-grip insert holding method, which secures the insert through cutting forces rather than a separate clamping element. This design reduces setup time and allows fast insert indexing without disturbing blade position. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or job-shop environments will find this blade suited to grooving, parting, and turning operations on workpieces up to 1.97 inches in diameter.

The 2301458 is intended for grooving, parting, and turning applications across a range of workpiece materials. The neutral cutting direction makes it appropriate for standard right-hand lathe rotation setups. Compatible inserts have a minimum width of 3 mm (0.1181 inches) and a maximum width of 3 mm (0.1181 inches), keeping tooling selection straightforward. The cutting height is 24 mm (0.9449 inches), which defines the effective depth capacity at the cutting zone. This blade is well suited to production turning environments where repeatable tool changes and consistent insert positioning are critical to maintaining part tolerances.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Do-Grip series inserts with a 3 mm insert width. Suitable for grooving, parting, and turning applications on workpieces up to 1.97 inches in diameter. Specific machine and insert compatibility should be confirmed against ISCAR Do-Grip system documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine at a full stop and energy isolated before blade or insert changes. Confirm the blade is fully seated and clamped in the toolholder per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before initiating a cut. Follow shop safety procedures and machine tool guidelines when handling indexable tooling with sharp cutting edges.
