Seco 00072498 Indexable Threading Toolholder 0.625 Shank

Product Description

The SECO 00072498 is an external, right-hand indexable threading toolholder from the Snap Tap series, designed for precision threading and turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. The toolholder features a 0.625 x 0.625 inch square shank and accepts 16ER series inserts with a 1.5 insert size code, secured by a clamp-style holding method. With an overall length of 4.0 inches and a head length of 0.9 inches, it provides rigid setup geometry for consistent thread-form accuracy. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators use this holder in production turning environments where repeatable insert indexing is required.

This toolholder is suited for external threading applications on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in both production and job-shop turning operations. The Snap Tap series is built for applications requiring consistent thread-form geometry without coolant-through capability. The CE toolholder style and 16ER insert compatibility make it appropriate for threading cycles where a standard external holder and common insert geometry are specified. It is sold individually and ordered in single-unit quantities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret or tool post is locked out before changing or indexing inserts. Torque the clamp fastener according to the insert manufacturer's recommendation using calibrated tooling. Verify shank seating and overhang are within machine tool specifications before resuming cutting operations.
