Iscar has introduced new blocks for 100mm and 150mm high parting blades that carry 9.5mm and 12.7mm Tang-Grip and Self-Grip inserts.

Up until now, blocks for 100mm and 150mm blades were supplied for special requirements or were produced by the end-user.

As the consumption of these heavy-duty blades continues to rise, and due to ongoing requests, it was decided to offer the 2303017 SGTBU 100-9-12 and 2303018 SGTBU 150-9-12 blocks as standard items.

The new blocks will be available in a 50mm shank size. Customers who use 40mm or 32mm shanks will be able to independently modify the shank size according to their required height.
