Iscar 2500327 External Lh Face Grooving Toolholder Hfh

Product Description

The ISCAR 2500327 is an external left hand indexable face grooving toolholder in the Heliface series, HFH style. It handles face grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers where precise groove geometry is required. The toolholder accepts H.PL 60 series inserts secured by a clamp holding method, supporting a maximum depth of cut of 1.26 inches and a fixed groove width of 0.236 inches. The 1 inch by 1 inch shank seats securely in standard square-shank toolposts and turrets. Overall length is 6 inches with a 4 inch shank length, providing the rigidity and reach needed for reliable face grooving on parts up to 3.94 inches maximum outside diameter. Licensed machinists and CNC lathe operators are the primary users.

This toolholder is suited for face grooving operations in both production and job-shop turning environments. It works across a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, heat-resistant alloys, and hardened materials, consistent with its universal primary workpiece material rating and material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Confirmed compatible insert part numbers are HFPL 6004, HFPL 6030, HGPL 6005Y, and HGPL 6030Y. The minimum axial groove inside diameter is 2.76 inches, making this toolholder appropriate for face grooving on medium to larger diameter workpieces.
