Seco 00018595 Lock Pin Indexable Turning Tools

Product Description

The SECO 00018595 is a lock pin designed to secure inserts and clamps in indexable turning tool holders. Lock pins maintain precise insert positioning during metal cutting operations, preventing movement that would otherwise compromise dimensional accuracy and surface finish. This pin is a consumable hardware component typically replaced during routine tooling maintenance. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight but critical retention fastener used in CNC and manual turning setups across production and job-shop environments.

This lock pin is intended for use in indexable turning tool systems where insert clamping depends on a pin-style retention mechanism. It is suited for both production machining and general turning applications in industrial settings. Machinists, tooling technicians, and CNC setup personnel install this pin as part of standard insert change procedures. The industry standard number for this component is 18595.

Key Features

• Pin type: Lock, designed to retain cutting inserts in indexed position
• Compatible with clamp and insert hardware in indexable turning tool holders
• Lightweight construction at 0.03 pounds for minimal tooling assembly impact
• Industry standard number 18595 for straightforward cross-referencing
• UNSPSC Code 31162400 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Compatible with clamps and inserts used in indexable turning tool holders. Refer to your tooling system documentation to confirm pin-style retention compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tooling technician during insert indexing or replacement. Ensure the tool holder is removed from the machine spindle and the machine is powered down before servicing. Use the appropriate pin driver or hex key as specified by the tool holder manufacturer. Do not force the pin into the bore, as improper installation can damage the clamp seat or insert pocket.
