Iscar 2302228 Indexable Grooving Blade Neutral Tang-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 2302228 is an indexable grooving blade designed for precision metalworking operations including grooving, parting, and turning. Built to TGAD blade style in the Tang-Grip series, this neutral-cutting blade measures 1.1811 inches in height, 0.067 inches in width, and 1.6339 inches in overall length. It uses a clamp-style insert holding method and accepts TAG N and TAG R/L insert styles. Machining professionals and tool crib technicians install this blade on CNC lathes and turning centers where consistent groove geometry and secure insert retention are required. The design conforms to ISO 13399 standards for cutting tool representation.

This grooving blade is suited for light to medium turning applications on workpieces up to 1.2598 inches in diameter. Minimum groove width capability is 0.071 inches, with a maximum groove width of 0.0945 inches, making it well-matched to close-tolerance grooving work in bar-fed CNC and manual lathe setups. It is appropriate for both production shops and maintenance machining environments where repeatable insert indexing is critical to cycle time and part accuracy.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before changing or indexing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all power is isolated per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the blade securely in the toolholder pocket and verify insert clamping is firm before running the machine. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for clamping screws and inspect the blade seating surface for chips or debris prior to assembly.
