Seco 02422257 Indexable Face Mill 3.15 in 6 Insert

Product Description

The SECO 02422257 is an indexable chamfer angle face mill designed for precision facing operations on milling machines. Built to Series R220.53 specifications, this right-hand cutter accepts six SE 09T3 inserts secured by screws and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.18 inches across a cutting diameter range of 3.15 to 3.54 inches. The arbor hole diameter is 1 inch, providing a rigid, centered mount. Through-coolant capability allows cutting fluid to reach the insert tips directly, extending tool life and improving chip evacuation during high-speed facing passes. Rated to 12,500 RPM, this mill suits production environments where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are priorities. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die technicians working with CNC or manual vertical mills.

The 02422257 is engineered for facing applications requiring a 45-degree chamfer angle on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. With six flutes and a normal pitch configuration, the cutter is suited for stable, medium-to-high feed facing passes in both roughing and finishing contexts. The negative radial and positive axial rake geometry of the R220.53 series balances cutting forces, making it appropriate for setups where vibration control matters. This tool is well-suited for job shops and production floors where indexable insert tooling is preferred over brazed-tip cutters for cost efficiency and repeatability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a locked-out, de-energized state before mounting or removing the cutter. Verify arbor and keyway dimensions match the machine spindle before seating the tool, and confirm all insert screws are torqued according to the insert manufacturer's guidelines using the appropriate Torx or hex key. Connect through-coolant supply lines per the machine tool builder's specifications before initiating any cutting cycle.
