Seco 02642891 Square-shoulder Face Mill 6 Inches 12 Insert

Product Description

The SECO 02642891 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for high-precision milling operations in metal-cutting applications. Built to the Square 6 series standard, this cutter features a 6-inch maximum cutting diameter and accepts 12 XNEX 0806 inserts held in place by a clamp and screw method. The 0/90 degree lead angle produces true square shoulders, making it well-suited for step milling and slotting operations. Through-coolant capability supports chip evacuation and tool life in demanding cuts. At 2.48 inches overall height and a 2-inch arbor hole, this mill is sized for robust spindle mounting on production-class machining equipment. Inserts engage with a negative rake geometry for stable cutting action in harder materials.

This face mill is intended for use in industrial machining environments, primarily on horizontal and vertical CNC machining centers equipped for arbor-mounted tooling. The medium pitch insert arrangement with 12 flutes supports consistent feed rates across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The cutter style designation is R220.96. Its slotting application rating makes it a practical choice for shops requiring reliable square-shoulder profiles in production or job-shop settings. Through-coolant compatibility requires a machine spindle with internal coolant delivery to realize that benefit.

Key Features

• 6-inch maximum cutting diameter with 0.295-inch maximum depth of cut
• Accepts 12 XNEX 0806 inserts in a clamp and screw holding system
• 0/90 degree lead angle for true square-shoulder and slotting operations
• Through-coolant design for improved chip evacuation and tool longevity
• Medium pitch, 12-flute configuration supports stable feed rates
• Negative rake insert geometry for controlled cutting in harder materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with XNEX 0806 series inserts and compatible with machines that accept a 2-inch arbor hole mounting interface in the R220.96 cutter style platform.

Installation Notes

Installation and tooling changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine control in a locked-out state per applicable machine safety procedures. Ensure arbor and spindle interfaces are clean and free of burrs before mounting. Torque insert clamping screws to the toolholder manufacturer specification listed in the SECO tooling documentation supplied with this cutter. If using through-coolant, verify that the machine spindle coolant system is compatible and that all coolant passages are clear before operation.
