Iscar 3602008 Indexable Boring Bar 8.8mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 3602008 is a solid carbide indexable boring bar in the Isoturn MG-SWUC series, designed for internal boring and turning operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. The bar accepts WCGT 0201 series trigon inserts secured by a screw-clamp holding method, providing rigid, repeatable cutting geometry. With a minimum bore diameter of 8.8 mm (0.3465 inches) and a shank diameter of 8 mm, this tool is built for tight-bore, high-precision applications. A 12-degree positive rake angle reduces cutting forces, and coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and tool life in demanding materials. The overall length is 75.7 mm (2.98 inches). Installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This boring bar is suited for small-diameter internal turning and boring in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 93-degree lead angle geometry and right-hand cut orientation make it appropriate for facing toward the spindle in standard lathe setups. The MG-SWUC toolholder style is part of the ISCAR Isoturn line, commonly used on gang-tool lathes, Swiss-style machines, and small-bore CNC turning centers where shank space is limited. The screw-clamp insert retention keeps the WCGT 0201 insert positively located during interrupted cuts and high-feed passes. Coolant-through capability allows directed coolant delivery directly to the cutting zone, which is valuable when working in deep bores or with difficult-to-machine alloys.

Key Features

• Minimum bore diameter of 8.8 mm (0.3465 inches) for small-bore internal machining
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and vibration resistance in long-reach applications
• Compatible with WCGT 0201 series trigon inserts, screw-clamp held
• 12-degree positive rake angle reduces cutting forces on delicate workpieces
• Coolant-through design for improved chip control and insert life
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and presetter integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with WCGT 0201 series trigon inserts. Compatible insert size code is 0201. Part of the ISCAR Isoturn MG-SWUC toolholder series.

Installation Notes

Installation and insert changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine in a locked-out, de-energized state per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Torque the insert-clamping screw according to the insert manufacturer specifications printed on the insert packaging or tooling documentation — do not estimate. Verify shank-to-bore fit and clamp pressure before running. Confirm coolant-through passages are clear and the coolant supply is connected before engaging the cutting cycle.
