Seco 02636645 Carbide Cutoff Insert TGP45 0.122 in

Product Description

The SECO 02636645 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TGP45 manufacturer grade with a CVD-applied Duratomic coating of TiCN and Al2O3, providing wear resistance across a universal 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 suitable for straight plunge cutoff work where minimal side force is desired. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert into compatible clamp-style toolholders in the Series 150.10 system.

This insert is intended for cutoff and parting applications in production turning environments, both light industrial and high-volume shop settings. The neutral hand orientation allows use on standard right-hand setups. With a maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm and an overall length of 0.354 inches, it suits moderate material removal on bar stock and tubular workpieces. The universal primary workpiece material classification covers steel, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys within the C5 material grade range. Chipbreaker designation 16 is built into the insert geometry for controlled chip evacuation during cutoff passes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction 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 groove dimensions
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for straightforward plunge cutoff setups
• 0.008 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Series 150.10 clamp-style holding method for secure insert retention under cutting loads
• Chipbreaker 16 geometry promotes chip control during parting operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for Series 150.10 clamp-style cutoff toolholders accepting a size 3 insert seat.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench or clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert securely in the clamp pocket without over-tightening. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. This is a single-end insert and should not be flipped or re-indexed.
