Seco 02636657 Carbide Cutoff Insert 0.25in Ticn Al2o3

Product Description

The SECO 02636657 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the Series 150.10 standard, it features a 0.25-inch cutting width and a 0.012-inch corner radius with a neutral lead angle, making it suited for straight cutoff passes without side load bias. The insert is finished with a CVD-applied TiCN and Al2O3 Duratomic coating, which provides thermal resistance and wear protection during high-speed cutoff work. It accepts a clamp-style insert holding method and is rated for universal workpiece materials under the C5 material grade classification. This insert is sized to fit a size 6 insert seat.

This insert is used in metalworking applications requiring precision parting and cutoff on a wide range of materials. The neutral hand and neutral lead angle configuration make it adaptable to standard cutoff toolholders without directional preference. The Series 150.10 designation indicates compatibility with the corresponding SECO toolholder family. It is suited for production environments where consistent groove width tolerance is required, with a stated width tolerance of 0.003 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 3.00 mm. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production facilities are the primary installers.
