Iscar 2302196 Indexable Cutoff Blade Tool Block

Product Description

The ISCAR 2302196 is an indexable cutoff blade tool block designed for precision grooving, parting, and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the TGTBU style, this block accepts Tang-GripIQ series blades and provides a rigid, repeatable mounting platform for high-demand cutting applications. The block measures 4.331 inches in overall length and 2.2 inches in overall height, with a shank height and shank width of 0.75 inches each. Compatible blade height is 1.38 inches with a compatible blade width of 0.236 inches. At 0.637 pounds, it is a compact, solid-construction holder suited to production turning environments where consistent tool positioning is critical.

This tool block is used in metalworking applications requiring accurate cutoff and grooving performance. The Tang-GripIQ system is engineered for secure blade clamping during parting and grooving cycles, minimizing blade deflection and vibration. It is appropriate for use in both job-shop and production settings where indexable tooling systems are the standard. The TGTBU style block is compatible with TGSU series complete blades as specified by the manufacturer.
