Seco 00096177 Lh Cfml Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The SECO 00096177 is a left-hand CFML-style indexable turning toolholder designed for cut-off and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 1 x 1 inch square shank and an overall length of 6 inches, with a head length of 1.54 inches and a back-of-bar to cutting edge distance of 1.25 inches. The holder is part of the Multi-Directional Turning (MDT) series and is built from steel for rigidity under interrupted and continuous cuts. Coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and tool life in demanding applications. A licensed machinist or CNC operator typically installs and qualifies this toolholder.

This toolholder suits left-hand cutting direction applications in both production and job-shop turning environments. It is rated for universal primary workpiece materials, covering material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, which span hardened materials, cast iron, stainless, non-ferrous, steel, and superalloys. The MDT series designation means the holder supports multi-use configurations, making it appropriate for shops that need flexible tooling setups across a range of part diameters and groove widths. Maximum depth of cut reaches 0.787 inches with the correct insert seated.
