Seco 00072524 Indexable Threading Toolholder 0.5 in

Product Description

The SECO 00072524 is an indexable threading toolholder designed for external threading and turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built to the Snap Tap series, this right-hand holder accepts 16ER insert geometry with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and uses a clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable positioning. The square shank measures 0.5 x 0.5 inches with an overall length of 4.0 inches, making it compatible with standard tool post and turret setups. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This toolholder is suited for external threading and turning applications on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The CE-style toolholder configuration and 1.5 insert size code make it a direct fit in standard indexable tooling systems. The Snap Tap series is commonly used in production turning where fast insert indexing and consistent thread-form accuracy are priorities. No coolant-through capability is present on this holder, so flood or mist coolant must be supplied externally.

Installation Notes

This toolholder is installed by machinists and CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing inserts. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamped in the tool post or turret block to the machine manufacturer's torque specification before cutting. Confirm insert orientation and thread-form designation match the workpiece thread standard prior to first pass.
