Parting and Grooving Single-Ended Inserts for Parting Bars, Hard Materials and
Tough Applications.

TAG Insert Features
\* Very rigid clamping in a tangentially oriented pocket.
\* Enables machining at very high feed rates and provides excellent straightness and surface finish.
\* Recommended for parting large diameter parts and for interrupted cuts.
\* Offers a free, unobstructed chip flow, since there is no upper jaw as in the other clamping systems (very important in deep grooving and parting applications.
\* The combination of tangential clamping and free chip flow results in improved tool and insert life time.
\* Provides a solution to the problem of inserts being pulled out during retraction.

The TAG inserts are available with the familiar J- and C-Type chipformers, with neutral and angular frontal cutting edges. The new tools are equipped with a user-friendly clamping and extraction device. The TANG-GRIP family includes square shank tools, blades and inserts in 1.4 - 9.5mm widths in the most advanced IC830 and IC808 SUMO TEC grades. The blades are in standard siuzes which fit ISCAR's standard blocks.

(1) Larger corner radii for interrupted cut and high feed applications
(2) Tolerance for W<6 mm = ±0.05. For W>6 mm = ±0.10
