Seco 00096181 Lh Cfml Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The SECO 00096181 is a left-hand CFML-style indexable turning toolholder designed for cut-off and grooving operations on CNC and manual lathes. Built from steel with a 1 inch x 1 inch shank and a 6 inch overall length, this toolholder accepts LC..1606.. series inserts secured by a clamp-style holding method. It features coolant-through capability to extend insert life and improve chip evacuation during deep or interrupted cuts. The 00096181 belongs to SECO's Multi-Directional Turning (MDT) series, making it a versatile option for shops running a range of turning applications across multiple workpiece materials.

This toolholder is intended for professional machinists and toolroom technicians working on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, exotic alloys, and general-purpose materials. The universal primary workpiece material rating covers ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S, making it adaptable across a wide variety of production turning scenarios. Its left-hand cutting direction and 90-degree lead angle suit specific setup orientations where a standard right-hand holder cannot be applied. The multi-use tool designation supports both cut-off and grooving operations without retooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the toolholder from the turret or tool post.
