Iscar 3601818 Svac Indexable Turning Toolholder 16mm

Product Description

The ISCAR 3601818 is a right-hand SVAC-style indexable turning toolholder from the Isoturn series, designed for external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built with a 16mm x 16mm square shank and an overall length of 125mm (4.92 inches), this toolholder uses a screw clamp holding method to secure VC.T 22.. series inserts at a neutral rake angle of 0 degrees. The 91-degree lead angle geometry suits straight turning and facing operations where a controlled cutting approach is required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators handling precision turning work will find this holder a direct fit for high-repeatability insert indexing.

This toolholder is suited for use in production turning environments, including both light manufacturing and job-shop applications where consistent insert positioning and rigid shank clamping matter. The right-hand cutting direction makes it standard for conventional lathe setups where the tool advances from right to left across the workpiece. It is compatible with VCMT110302-SM inserts and the broader VC.T 22.. insert family, making insert sourcing straightforward for shops already running Isoturn tooling. No coolant-through capability is present, so external coolant delivery should be used when flood or mist cooling is needed.

• Part of the Isoturn series, compatible with VC.T 22.. insert family including VCMT110302-SM

Compatibility

Designed to accept VC.T 22.. series inserts, including the VCMT110302-SM insert size code, within the ISCAR Isoturn toolholder system.

Installation Notes

This toolholder is installed and serviced by machinists or CNC setup technicians working on turning centers and engine lathes. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts or mounting the holder in the turret or toolpost. Torque the insert clamping screw using the appropriate ISCAR wrench per standard shop practice; do not use excessive force that could damage the screw or seat. Verify shank seating and tool centerline height before returning the machine to operation.
