Seco 00003293 Indexable Grooving Toolholder Right Hand Mdt

Product Description

The SECO 00003293 is a right-hand indexable grooving toolholder built for external non-face grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It belongs to SECO's Multi-Directional Turning (MDT) series and accepts LC..1603.. inserts, secured by a clamp-style insert holding method. The toolholder delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.44 inches and a groove width of 0.118 inches. At 12 inches overall length with a 1.429-inch shank width and through-coolant capability, it is designed for demanding production environments where thermal management and tool life are priorities. Primary workpiece material is stainless steel, making it well suited for high-temperature alloy and corrosion-resistant material applications.

This toolholder is used in turning center applications requiring precise, repeatable grooving in stainless steel and similar materials. The A..-CGGR style designation indicates a straight-shank external grooving configuration. Through-coolant delivery directs fluid to the cutting zone, reducing heat buildup and chip packing in tight groove profiles. The 12-inch overall length and 1.8-inch minimum bore diameter suit medium-to-large diameter workpieces on horizontal or vertical CNC lathes. Installation and setup are typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician familiar with indexable tooling systems.
