Seco 02636649 Carbide Cutoff Insert TGP45 0.161 in

Product Description

The SECO 02636649 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 thermal resistance and wear life across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert has a 0.161-inch cutting width, a 0.009-inch corner radius, and a neutral lead angle, making it suited for straight plunge cutoff applications. Installation requires a compatible Series 150.10 clamp-style toolholder. This is a single-end insert sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This insert is intended for cutoff and parting applications on universal workpiece materials including steel, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The neutral hand and neutral lead angle support straightforward radial plunge cuts without side load bias. Chipbreaker code 12 controls chip formation and evacuation during the cut. It fits into Series 150.10 insert seats size 4 and is appropriate for use in production turning environments where consistent part separation and tight tolerances are required. The maximum depth of cut is 3.00 mm.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate, Material Grade C5, for rigidity and edge retention
• CVD Duratomic coating — TiCN plus Al2O3 layers — for heat and crater wear resistance
• 0.161-inch cutting width with a 0.003-inch width tolerance for precise parting groove dimensions
• 0.009-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for direct radial plunge cutoff
• Chipbreaker 12 geometry promotes controlled chip flow and evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 150.10 clamp-style cutoff toolholders accepting insert seat size 4. Compatible with universal workpiece materials as designated by primary workpiece material code OD.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the insert is fully seated in the pocket and that the clamping mechanism applies even, correct holding force per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines before resuming cutting operations. Do not exceed the recommended maximum depth of cut for the application.
