Seco 02462852 Threading Toolholder External Left Hand 1x1

Product Description

The SECO 02462852 is an indexable threading toolholder configured for external, left-hand cutting operations. Part of the Snap Tap series, it accepts a single 16EL insert held in place by a clamp-style mechanism, making insert changes straightforward during production runs. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall, with an overall length of 6 inches and a shank length of approximately 4.9 inches. The toolholder uses a CE-style holder configuration and is designed for threading and turning applications on CNC lathes and turning centers. No coolant-through capability is included in this configuration.

This toolholder is suited for threading and turning operations in both production and job-shop environments. The external, left-hand orientation positions it for specific lathe turret setups where right-to-left tool travel is required. The CE-style designation and 16EL insert compatibility make it a standard choice for machinists working external thread forms on metallic workpieces. It is installed by CNC machinists and manual lathe operators in industrial manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• External threading with left-hand holder orientation for right-to-left cutting direction
• CE-style toolholder body compatible with 16EL insert geometry
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, repeatable insert seating
• 1 inch x 1 inch square shank fits standard lathe turret pockets
• 6-inch overall length with a 1.1-inch head length for rigid overhang control
• No coolant-through port; suits dry or flood coolant setups via external nozzle

Compatibility

Designed to accept 16EL threading inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle. Compatible insert size code is 1. Verify turret pocket dimensions and insert grade selection against the specific thread form and workpiece material before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or lathe operators. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the toolholder from the turret. Verify shank seating depth and torque the clamping bolts per the machine tool manufacturer's specifications. Confirm insert orientation and hand-of-cut direction match the programmed tool path before running the first part.
