Seco 02422142 Indexable Face Mill 2.48 in 5 Flute

Product Description

The SECO 02422142 is a 45-degree indexable chamfer angle face mill designed for precision facing operations in production and job-shop environments. Part of the R220.53 series, this right-hand cutter accepts five SE X 1204 inserts held in place by screw-lock retention. It carries a minimum cutting diameter of 2.48 inches and a maximum cutting diameter of 2.95 inches, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.236 inches. Through-coolant capability supports extended tool life and chip evacuation at elevated cutting speeds. Installed by machinists and CNC operators, this cutter is suited for milling centers requiring a reliable, indexable facing solution at a 3/4-inch arbor mount.

This face mill is used in horizontal and vertical milling applications targeting flat surface generation and chamfer preparation. It is a normal-pitch, 5-flute cutter rated to a maximum of 13,200 RPM, making it appropriate for medium-to-high-speed facing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The negative radial and positive axial rake geometry balances cutting forces while protecting the insert edge. It is well suited for production environments where repeatable surface finish and predictable insert indexing are required.

Compatibility

Designed for use with SE X 1204 series inserts. Fits 3/4-inch arbor spindle configurations on horizontal and vertical milling machines. Part of the SECO R220.53 cutter series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify arbor and keyway fit before torquing the retention hardware. Do not exceed the rated maximum RPM of 13,200. Insert pockets should be cleaned and inspected before seating new SE X 1204 inserts, and screw-lock torque should follow the insert manufacturer's documented fastener specifications.
