Iscar 2500716 Grooving Support Blade 0.25 in Heli-grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 2500716 is a right-hand cutoff and grooving support blade designed for use with indexable inserts in the Heli-Grip series. It accepts a 0.25-inch (6.35 mm) wide insert and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.866 inches (22.00 mm), making it well suited for moderate-depth grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The blade measures 1.878 inches in overall length and 1.299 inches in blade height, providing a rigid platform for consistent insert support. Machinists and tooling technicians working in production turning environments install this blade as a holder body for compatible Heli-Grip indexable inserts.

This support blade is intended for cutoff and grooving applications on turning centers and CNC lathes where indexable tooling systems are preferred. Its right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation setups. The Heli-Grip series is designed around secure insert clamping geometry, which helps control vibration and improve surface finish during grooving passes. The head length projection of 0.2835 inches (7.20 mm) positions the insert at a controlled overhang for close-tolerance groove work. This blade fits into grooving tooling assemblies that accept Heli-Grip style support blades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy sources are locked out before mounting or replacing support blades or inserts. Use calibrated torque tooling per the tooling system manufacturer guidelines when securing clamping components. Verify insert seating and blade alignment before returning the machine to operation.
