Seco 00072586 Internal Grooving Toolholder Snap Tap

Product Description

The SECO 00072586 is an internal right hand indexable grooving toolholder designed for precision internal grooving operations on steel workpieces. Built on the Snap Tap series platform, it accepts 9NR inserts secured by a screw-clamp holding method, giving technicians a reliable, repeatable setup in tight bore environments. The toolholder measures 5.5 inches overall length with a 0.625 inch shank diameter and handles groove widths from 0.03 inches up to 0.103 inches at a maximum depth of cut of 0.103 inches. It is suited for CNC turning centers and manual lathes where internal grooving calls for consistent insert indexing and rigid shank support.

This toolholder is intended for internal, non-face grooving applications in right hand cutting direction. It is commonly used in production turning environments and tool rooms machining steel components that require internal grooves for retaining rings, seals, or undercuts. The minimum bore diameter for entry is 0.5 inches, making it practical for moderate bore sizes. The SN toolholder style and Snap Tap series design are standard in industrial CNC turning shops where tooling interchangeability and fast insert changes are a priority.
