Iscar 3602012 Pdac Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The ISCAR 3602012 is a right-hand PDAC-style indexable turning toolholder from the Isoturn series, designed for external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. The toolholder features a neutral rake angle of 0 degrees and a 91-degree lead angle, making it well suited for general-purpose turning passes. The square shank measures 16.00 mm (0.6299 inches) on both width and height, and the overall length is 150.00 mm (5.9055 inches). Insert retention is handled by a lever-clamp mechanism, which provides consistent seating and quick index changes. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this toolholder.

This toolholder is designed for cutting applications where a right-hand cutting direction and neutral rake geometry are required. It accepts DC..11T3.. series inserts and is confirmed compatible with the DCGT11T302-SM insert size code. Typical applications include finish and semi-finish turning of steel, stainless, and non-ferrous materials in production shop environments. It does not have coolant-through capability, so external coolant delivery should be planned accordingly. The Isoturn series is engineered to ISO 13399 standards, supporting tool data integration with CAM and tool management systems.

Compatibility

Designed to accept DC..11T3.. series inserts; confirmed compatible insert size code is DCGT11T302-SM. Part of the ISCAR Isoturn series. Verify insert nose radius, chipbreaker geometry, and grade selection against the workpiece material and cutting parameters before installation.

Installation Notes

This toolholder is installed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the toolholder or indexing inserts. Use calibrated torque tools per the machine tool builder and ISCAR tooling specifications when securing the toolholder in the turret or tool block. Confirm tool centerline height and overhang before cutting to avoid vibration and premature insert wear.
