Seco 02636636 Carbide Cutoff Insert 0.122 in TGP45

Product Description

The SECO 02636636 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the TGP45 manufacturer grade with a CVD-applied Duratomic coating of TiCN and Al2O3, which improves wear resistance and tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 0.122-inch cutting width, a 0.008-inch corner radius, and a neutral lead angle, making it a versatile choice for straight cutoff work. A chipbreaker geometry designated 14 is incorporated into the insert face to aid chip control during the cut. The insert is single-ended and designed for clamp-style holders in the Series 150.10 system.

This insert is suited for cutoff and parting applications in both production and job-shop turning environments. Its universal primary workpiece material rating means it performs across steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar OD-turned materials without requiring a material-specific grade change. The Series 150.10 designation indicates the holder and insert seat system it belongs to, with an insert seat size of 3. It is installed and changed by machinists and CNC turning technicians. The maximum depth of cut is 3.00 millimeters, making it appropriate for smaller-diameter parting work where controlled chip formation is a priority.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with CVD Duratomic TiCN and Al2O3 coating for extended wear resistance
• 0.122-inch cutting width with a width tolerance of 0.003 inches for consistent part dimensions
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand — no left or right orientation required
• 0.008-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Chipbreaker style 14 integrated for improved chip evacuation during cutoff
• Single-ended insert retained by clamp-style toolholding in the Series 150.10 system

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 150.10 clamp-style cutoff and grooving toolholders that accept an insert seat size 3. Compatible with universal OD turning applications across a broad range of workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC turning technician with the machine fully stopped and the spindle locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. The insert seats in a clamp-style holder — ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips before seating the new insert to maintain proper cutting geometry. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut. Inspect the clamping screw and toolholder for wear before reuse.
