Iscar 2801261 Indexable Grooving Toolholder Lh Mah

Product Description

The ISCAR 2801261 is an external left hand indexable grooving toolholder designed for non-face grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built in the MAH style within the Modular Grip series, it accepts indexable grooving inserts held by a clamp-type retention method. The toolholder measures 6.6 inches overall length with a square 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch shank. The back-of-bar to cutting edge distance is 1.14 inches. Cutting direction is left hand, making it appropriate for left hand turning setups. This holder conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards. It weighs 0.9 pounds. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians are the primary installers.

This toolholder suits external grooving applications on medium to large workpieces where a left hand cutting direction is required. The 1-1/4 inch square shank fits standard tool blocks and quick-change turret stations sized for that shank dimension. The Modular Grip series design supports repeatable insert indexing, making it appropriate for production turning environments where consistent groove geometry and cycle time matter. It is not configured for coolant-through delivery, so external coolant supply should be planned at the machine setup stage.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indexable grooving toolholder for use with compatible ISCAR Modular Grip series grooving inserts suited to left hand external grooving.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified CNC tooling technician or machinist. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the toolholder from the turret station. Confirm shank seating and tool block clamping torque per the machine tool manufacturer specifications before operation. Do not use coolant-through ports on the machine with this holder, as it is not configured for coolant-through delivery.
