TangGrip
Tangentially Clamped, Single-Ended Parting System

ISCAR is introducing a new, single-ended insert for parting,
with an improved clamping method (patent pending).


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 pocket life.
● 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
extracting device.

The TANG-GRIP family includes square shank tools, blades and inserts
in 2-12 mm widths in the most advanced IC830 and IC808 SUMO TEC
grades. The blades for 8, 9, and 12 mm inserts have coolant holes
directed to the cutting edge from the bottom. The blades are in
standard sizes which fit ISCAR's standard blocks.

Recommended operating and machining conditions are similar to our
other single-ended parting systems and provide better performance.
