Seco 02642886 Square-shoulder Face Mill 4 Inches

Product Description

The SECO 02642886 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill engineered for precision slotting and shoulder milling operations on machining centers and milling machines. Built around the Square 6 series platform, this cutter accepts eight XNEX 0806 inserts held by a clamp and screw system and delivers a 0/90 degree lead angle with negative rake geometry. The 4-inch cutting diameter and 1.5-inch arbor hole make it a practical choice for medium-pitch applications requiring consistent square-shoulder profiles. Through-coolant capability channels fluid directly to the cutting zone, extending insert life and improving chip evacuation in demanding cuts. This tool is installed by CNC machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production environments.

The 02642886 is designed for slotting operations where a true 90-degree shoulder wall is required. Its medium pitch configuration with eight flutes supports balanced cutting forces across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Through-coolant compatibility makes it well-suited for operations involving difficult-to-machine alloys or deep shoulder passes where heat buildup is a concern. This cutter is a right-hand cutting direction tool and is typically mounted on horizontal or vertical machining center spindles with a standard arbor interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Verify arbor fitment and torque all insert clamp screws to the toolholder manufacturer specifications before operation. Confirm through-coolant passages are clear and the coolant system is connected before engaging the spindle. Follow your facility safety plan and tooling supplier guidelines when indexing or replacing inserts.
