Seco 00018580 Lock Pin Indexable Turning Tools

Product Description

The SECO 00018580 is a lock pin designed for use with indexable turning tools in metal-cutting and machining applications. This pin secures the cutting insert and clamp assembly within the toolholder, maintaining precise insert positioning during turning operations. Weighing 0.03 pounds, it is a small but critical hardware component that keeps the insert from shifting under cutting forces. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel install this type of pin as part of routine insert changes or toolholder maintenance.

This lock pin is used in turning tool assemblies that rely on a clamp-and-pin retention system to hold indexable inserts in place. It is suited for production turning environments where consistent insert seating is required for dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The pin is replaced as part of preventive maintenance or when wear or damage affects insert clamping performance.

Key Features

• Lock pin type designed specifically for indexable turning toolholders
• Compatible with clamp and insert hardware in the tool assembly
• Industry standard number 00018580 for cross-reference and sourcing
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, minimizing added toolholder mass
• UNSPSC Code 31162400 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Compatible with clamps and inserts used in indexable turning tool assemblies, as specified by the manufacturer. Verify toolholder model and clamp style before ordering to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel during insert indexing or toolholder service. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before servicing any toolholder components. Use manufacturer-recommended drivers or pin tools to seat the lock pin without damaging the bore. Inspect the pin and clamp seat for wear at each insert change interval.
