Product Description

The ISCAR 2500729 is an indexable grooving blade from the Heliface series, designed for grooving, parting, and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built for right-hand cutting, this blade measures 1.457 inches high, 0.4690 inches wide, and 2.8937 inches in overall length. It accepts a wide range of compatible insert styles, giving machinists flexibility across multiple grooving applications. The blade style is HFAI and is manufactured to ISO 13399 standards. Weighing 0.278 pounds, it is a precision tooling component installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists working in metal removal and turning operations.

This blade is suited for external grooving, parting, and turning applications on workpieces ranging from 3.7400 inches to 5.1200 inches in diameter. The minimum groove width is 0.1969 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 1.3780 inches. It is appropriate for production and job-shop environments where consistent groove geometry and reliable insert indexing are required. The right-hand cutting orientation makes it compatible with standard lathe spindle rotation in the majority of turning setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Before mounting or indexing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy sources are locked out per facility LOTO procedures. Secure the blade in the turret or tool block using the appropriate torque specifications provided by the machine manufacturer. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before installing a new insert.
