System Features

• Very rigid clamping in a tangentially oriented pocket
• Designed for face grooving in 25 to 500 mm penetration diameter range
• Enables machining at very high feed rates and interrupted cuts, providing excellent surface finish
• Offers a free, unobstructed chip flow, since there is no upper jaw as in the other clamping systems (very important in deep grooving applications)
• The combination of tangential clamping and free chip flow results in very high reliability, improved tool and pocket life
• Provides a solution to the problem of inserts being pulled out during retraction
• The same insert can be used for both right- and left-hand tools
• The combination of the C-type chipformer and the SUMO TEC grade IC808 provides excellent performance on a wide range of materials and cutting conditions
• The new tools are equipped with a user-friendly clamping and extraction device

TANG-GRIP face machining line includes single- and double-ended blades and inserts in 3 and 4 mm widths in the most advanced IC808 SUMO TEC grade. The blades are in a standard size, which fit ISCAR’s standard blocks.
