Seco 00018630 Lock Pin Indexable Turning Tools

Product Description

The SECO 00018630 is a lock pin designed for use with indexable turning tools. It secures cutting inserts and clamps in place on the toolholder body, maintaining precise positioning during machining operations. This type of hardware is a standard consumable component in CNC turning and manual lathe setups. Machinist-level technicians and toolroom personnel install and replace these pins as part of routine toolholder maintenance. Proper insert retention directly affects cutting accuracy and surface finish, making reliable lock pin replacement a critical part of any turning operation.

This lock pin is intended for indexable turning tool assemblies where inserts are held by clamp-style retention systems. It is suited for both production turning environments and job-shop lathe applications. The part carries industry standard number 18630, which allows cross-referencing with compatible toolholder systems and clamp hardware from manufacturers that follow the same standard designation.

Key Features

• Secures indexable inserts and clamps in turning toolholders
• Matches industry standard number 18630 for broad cross-reference compatibility
• Compatible with clamp-style and insert retention hardware
• Single-piece package quantity supports low-volume replacement and maintenance needs

Compatibility

Compatible with clamps and inserts in indexable turning tool assemblies that reference industry standard number 18630. Specific toolholder model compatibility was not provided in the product data — verify fitment against your toolholder documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician as part of insert indexing or replacement procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is removed from the turret or post before servicing lock pin hardware. Use the correct driver or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid damaging the pin seat. Do not overtighten — follow the toolholder manufacturer's recommended seating procedure for clamp and pin assemblies.
