Seco 00096178 Cfmr Indexable Turning Toolholder 1x1 Shank

Product Description

The SECO 00096178 is a right-hand CFMR-style indexable turning toolholder designed for grooving and cut-off operations on CNC and manual lathes. Built from steel, it features a 1 inch x 1 inch square shank and an overall length of 6 inches. The toolholder uses a top-clamp insert-holding method and accepts LC..1605.. series inserts, including LCGN, LCMF, and LCMR styles. A 90-degree lead angle and coolant-through capability make it well suited for demanding turning applications across a wide range of workpiece materials. It is part of the SECO Multi-Directional Turning (MDT) series and is rated as a multi-use tool.

This toolholder is intended for professional machinists and tool-crib technicians working in production or job-shop environments. Its universal primary workpiece material compatibility spans steel, cast iron, stainless, non-ferrous, and superalloy materials, making it a versatile option across turning centers. The coolant-through design supports chip evacuation and extended insert life in deep grooving passes. Right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups where the tool advances from right to left.
