Seco 00043262 Indexable Turning Toolholder Neutral Ssdc

Product Description

The SECO 00043262 is a neutral-hand, SSDC-style indexable turning toolholder designed for general turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. Built on the Screw Lock series, it uses a screw-clamp holding method to secure SC..32.5. style inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle. The shank measures 0.5 inches wide by 0.5 inches tall with an overall length of 3.5 inches. The toolholder is machined from steel and features a neutral rake angle of 0 degrees, making it compatible with both climb and conventional cutting approaches. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators specify this holder for high-repeatability turning setups.

This toolholder is suited for turning applications across a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened materials, cast iron, stainless and exotic alloys, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, and heat-resistant superalloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The neutral cutting direction makes it adaptable for straight, facing, and profiling passes. It fits standard tool turrets and tool posts that accept a 0.5-inch square shank. Typical applications include production turning, maintenance machining, and job-shop work where a single versatile holder is needed across multiple material types.

Installation Notes

Installation and insert changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle stopped and the machine locked out per facility safety procedures.
