Seco 00018570 Lock Pin Indexable Turning Tools

Product Description

The SECO 00018570 is a lock pin designed for use with indexable turning tools. It secures cutting inserts and clamps in place during turning operations, maintaining precise insert positioning under the cutting forces generated in lathe and turning center applications. This type of hardware is a consumable maintenance component that wears over time and requires periodic replacement to ensure consistent clamping force and insert stability. Installation and replacement are typically performed by machinists and toolroom technicians as part of standard toolholder maintenance.

This lock pin is intended for indexable turning tool systems where clamp-style insert retention is used. It is suited for both production and job-shop turning environments. The 00018570 carries industry standard number 18570, which allows cross-referencing with compatible toolholder systems that reference that designation. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it practical to stock as a replacement consumable.

Compatibility

Compatible with clamps and inserts used in indexable turning toolholder systems. Hardware compatibility is confirmed for clamp and insert components as specified by the manufacturer. Verify toolholder model and clamp style against the 18570 industry standard designation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Lock pin replacement on indexable turning toolholders should be performed with the machine fully stopped and all spindle motion confirmed ceased. Use the appropriate hex key or pin tool specified for the toolholder system. Do not reuse visibly worn or deformed lock pins, as degraded pins can compromise insert clamping force and lead to insert movement during cutting. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's torque and assembly guidelines when reinstalling clamp hardware.
