Product Description

The SECO 00096157 is a right-hand CGIR-style indexable turning toolholder built for external grooving operations on CNC turning centers and manual lathes. The toolholder uses a clamp-style insert holding method and accepts LC..1603.. series inserts, including LCGN, LCMF, and LCMR styles. The 1 inch by 1 inch square shank provides rigid clamping in standard turning machine tool blocks. Overall length is 6 inches, with a head length of approximately 1.299 inches and a back-of-bar to cutting edge distance of 1.42 inches. Maximum depth of cut is 0.43 inches. This is a steel-body toolholder in the Multi-Directional Turning (MDT) series, suited for right-hand cutting direction.

This toolholder is designed for grooving applications across a universal range of workpiece materials, covering material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. That includes steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials. It is a multi-use tool compatible with multiple insert geometries within the LC..1603.. family, making it a versatile option for shops running diverse materials on the same tooling setup. Coolant-through capability is not included in this toolholder.
