Iscar 2301640 Cutoff Grooving Support Blade Pentacut

Product Description

The ISCAR 2301640 is a cutoff and grooving support blade designed to hold indexable inserts in PentaCut-series tooling systems. It provides rigid support during parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The blade measures 1.99 inches in height with a blade thickness of 0.372 inches and accepts inserts with a 0.246-inch cutting width. The head length projection is 0.372 inches. Weighing 0.637 pounds, this support blade is built for precision metalcutting applications where consistent insert seating and repeatable depth control are critical to surface finish and tool life.

This support blade is suited for production turning environments where frequent parting and grooving operations demand stable insert retention. The PentaCut series is engineered for high-rigidity setups on both manual and CNC turning equipment. The 2301640 is typically installed by machinists and tooling technicians working with steel, stainless, or other structural materials where accurate groove width and clean cutoff are required. The industry standard designation for this blade is HMSDV PEN 24-50L.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or installing any tooling components. Ensure the blade is seated fully in the tool block and that all clamping screws are torqued according to the toolholder manufacturer guidelines before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before loading a new insert.
