Seco 00048846 Carbide Cutoff Insert 0.122 in Series 150.10

Product Description

The SECO 00048846 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to Series 150.10 specifications, it features a 0.122-inch cutting width and a TiAlN/TiN PVD coating that extends tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert carries a CP600 manufacturer grade and a 0.008-inch corner radius, making it suited for moderate-to-high-speed cutoff applications where edge integrity and dimensional consistency are priorities. Machining technicians and toolroom professionals install this insert using a clamp-style holder compatible with the Series 150.10 system.

This insert is intended for cutoff and parting operations in general-purpose turning applications. It is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, meaning it performs across steel, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys without requiring a grade change. The neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation allow it to fit both left-hand and right-hand setups. It is a single-end insert, so once the cutting edge is spent, the insert is replaced rather than indexed. Typical use cases include bar-fed turning cells, Swiss-type turning, and conventional lathe parting where clean, burr-minimized cutoff is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with CP600 grade for wear resistance and edge stability
• TiAlN/TiN PVD coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life
• 0.122-inch cutting width for precise parting and grooving operations
• 0.008-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation for flexible setup in left- or right-hand holders
• Clamp-style holding method for secure, repeatable insert positioning

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 150.10 clamp-style cutoff toolholders. Insert size code 3 applies. Verify holder compatibility with the Series 150.10 system before ordering.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician using the appropriate Series 150.10 clamping toolholder. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and the tool turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Use clean seating surfaces on the holder pocket to maintain dimensional accuracy. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
