Seco 00732960 Cutoff Insert CP600 Carbide 0.055 in

Product Description

The SECO 00732960 is a single-end carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It belongs to the 150.10 Series and is manufactured in grade CP600 with a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating for extended tool life across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 0.055-inch cutting width, a neutral lead angle, and a clamp-style holding method. With a material grade rating of C5 and a universal primary workpiece material classification, this insert is suited to demanding production environments where consistent dimensional accuracy and chip control are required.

The 00732960 is used in cutoff and parting applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both production and job-shop turning operations. The 150.10 Series is engineered for use in compatible SECO clamp-style cutoff blade and toolholder systems. The neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to both conventional and back-turning setups. Its chipbreaker designation 16 promotes reliable chip evacuation during deep cutoff passes where chip jamming is a common concern. Installation is performed by machinists and CNC setup technicians working on lathes requiring precision parting capability.

Key Features

• CP600 carbide grade with PVD TiAlN/TiN coating for wear resistance and thermal stability
• 0.055-inch cutting width with a width tolerance of 0.002 inches for precise parting cuts
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for versatile mounting orientation
• 0.006-inch corner radius for controlled edge geometry at the cut face
• Chipbreaker designation 16 for reliable chip formation and evacuation
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, repeatable positioning in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with SECO 150.10 Series clamp-style cutoff toolholders and blade systems that accept size code 1.4 inserts. Confirm toolholder model acceptance of the 150.10 insert geometry before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all axis motion is locked before handling or replacing inserts. Use appropriate insert-handling tools to avoid edge contact with bare hands. Confirm the insert seats fully and the clamping screw is torqued according to the toolholder manufacturer's specification before resuming cutting operations.
