Iscar 2301661 Cutoff Grooving Support Blade Do-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 2301661 is a right-hand cutoff and grooving support blade designed for use with indexable inserts in the Do-Grip series. It accepts a 1/8 inch (0.1250 inch decimal) insert width and provides a head length projection of 1.89 inches, making it suited for precise parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The blade measures 3.06 inches in overall length and 1.89 inches in blade height, with a blade thickness of 0.094 inches. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians who require a rigid, repeatable support body for indexable grooving inserts.

This support blade is used in metal cutting applications where controlled depth parting, face grooving, or external grooving is required. The Do-Grip series is designed for turning and chucking work on both manual and CNC lathes. Typical applications include production machining of bar stock and turned components where consistent groove width and straight cutoff are critical. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation setups commonly found in production environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR Do-Grip series indexable inserts with a 1/8 inch insert width. No additional compatible model numbers were specified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with indexable tooling systems. The blade should be secured in a compatible tool block or blade holder with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before any insert changes or blade seating adjustments. Do not exceed the recommended overhang beyond the tool block, as excessive projection reduces rigidity and can cause vibration or insert failure. Follow the tooling manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when torquing clamping hardware.
