Seco 02450442 Indexable Boring Bar 0.315 in Bore Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02450442 is a solid carbide indexable boring bar designed for precision internal boring and turning operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.315 inches and a 1/4 inch shank diameter, this bar is built for small-bore applications where rigidity and dimensional accuracy are critical. The 9.843 inch overall length provides reach into deeper bores while maintaining the stiffness associated with solid carbide construction. A screw-clamp insert holding method secures compatible inserts firmly during cutting, reducing the risk of insert movement under load. Coolant-through capability channels fluid directly to the cutting zone, supporting chip evacuation and thermal management in tight bore profiles.

This boring bar is suited for residential and industrial machining environments where small-diameter internal turning is required. Typical applications include finish boring of bearing bores, valve bodies, hydraulic components, and precision housings. The bar accepts inserts with a compatible insert size code of 0804, making insert sourcing straightforward for shops already stocked with that insert family. It is intended for use by machinists and toolroom technicians running turning centers or live-tool lathes where accurate, repeatable bore sizing is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for maximum rigidity in small-bore applications
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.315 inches suits tight-access internal turning
• Coolant-through design delivers fluid directly to the cutting edge for improved chip evacuation
• Screw-clamp insert retention method provides secure, repeatable insert indexing
• Compatible with 0804 insert size code for broad insert availability
• Supports both boring and turning applications from a single toolholder

Compatibility

Designed for use with 0804 series indexable inserts. Compatible cutting tool applications include boring and turning operations. Fits tool blocks and turrets accepting a 1/4 inch round shank boring bar.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or indexing inserts. Secure the shank firmly in the tool block using the appropriate clamping torque recommended by the machine manufacturer for 1/4 inch shank tooling. Verify coolant-through ports are clear and connected to the machine coolant supply before initiating a cutting cycle.
