  TANG-GRIP
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 extraction device.
The TANG-GRIP family includes square shank tools, blades and inserts in 2-6.35 mm widths in the most advanced IC830 and IC808 SUMO TEC grades.
The blades are in standard sizes which fit ISCAR¹s standard blocks.

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