Seco 02636635 Carbide Cutoff Insert TGP45 0.122 in

Product Description

The SECO 02636635 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and cut-off operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Series 150.10 platform, it features a TGP45 manufacturer grade with a CVD-applied Duratomic coating of TiCN and Al2O3 for thermal resistance and wear life on a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert has a 0.122 inch cutting width, a 0.008 inch corner radius, and a neutral lead angle, making it suitable for straight-in parting cuts without lateral cutting force bias. It is clamped into position using a mechanical clamp-style toolholder. Machinists and toolroom technicians specify this insert for high-production cut-off work where consistent width tolerance and coating durability are priorities.

The 02636635 is rated for universal primary workpiece material application, covering a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in standard OD turning and parting scenarios. The Series 150.10 system is a single-end insert configuration with an insert seat size of 3 and a chipbreaker designation of 12. Maximum depth of cut is 3.00 mm. It is suited to both light-production and high-volume turning cells where repeatable parting performance is required. This insert is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• TGP45 grade solid carbide substrate with CVD Duratomic TiCN and Al2O3 coating for extended tool life
• 0.122 inch cutting width with a width tolerance of 0.003 inches for consistent parting groove dimensions
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand orientation for straight plunge cut-off applications
• 0.008 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm suits typical small-to-medium diameter workpiece parting
• Single-end insert design; clamp-held for secure seating in compatible Series 150.10 toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 150.10 clamp-style cut-off toolholders accepting insert seat size 3. No additional compatible model numbers were specified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the toolholder must be removed from the turret or secured before replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to release and re-engage the clamp screw; do not overtighten the clamp beyond the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure correct seating depth and width alignment.
