Iscar 2800589 Indexable Grooving Blade Neutral Cut Grip

Product Description

The ISCAR 2800589 is a single-end indexable grooving blade from the Cut Grip series, designed for grooving, parting, and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The blade measures 1.0236 inches in height and 1.9488 inches in overall length, with a blade width of 0.1575 inches. It accepts a minimum groove width of 0.1732 inches and supports a maximum depth of cut of 0.7677 inches. The neutral cutting direction suits a wide range of workpiece materials and setups. Built to ISO 13399 standards, this blade is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals in production and job-shop environments.

The 2800589 is suited for external grooving, parting-off, and turning applications on lathes and turning centers where precise groove geometry and secure insert clamping are required. The Cut Grip blade style (CGIN) is a common choice in production machining for its rigid insert retention and consistent groove width control. It handles groove widths from 0.1732 inches up to 0.2520 inches depending on insert selection, making it applicable across a range of groove profile requirements.
