Iscar 3601973 Indexable Boring Bar 0.629 in Min Bore

Product Description

The ISCAR 3601973 is an indexable boring bar in the Isoturn series, designed for internal boring and turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built from steel with a 0.5 inch shank diameter and a 6 inch overall length, it accommodates DC-style diamond-shaped inserts held by a screw-clamping method. The right-hand cutting orientation and negative rake angle of -9 degrees make this bar well suited for interrupted cuts and general-purpose internal machining. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in metal removal applications will find this bar a direct fit for precision bore work requiring tight tolerances.

This boring bar is used in production and job-shop environments for boring and turning operations where minimum bore diameter starts at 0.629 inches and maximum bore depth reaches 1 inch. The S-SDUCR toolholder style places it in common use on gang-tool lathes, turret lathes, and machining centers running DC.. 2 series inserts. It is appropriate for both light and moderate-duty internal diameter work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.35 inch center-to-cutting-edge dimension supports precise radial positioning during setup.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before changing or seating the boring bar. Confirm shank runout and bore alignment using an indicator before committing to a finish pass. Torque the insert clamping screw to the insert manufacturer specification found in the tooling documentation supplied with the inserts.
