Seco 02694976 Square-shoulder Face Mill 2 Inches

Product Description

The SECO 02694976 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for high-efficiency milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. Built around a 2-inch maximum cutting diameter and a 3/4-inch arbor hole, this cutter accepts five XO X1806-style inserts secured by clamp and screw holding. It delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.669 inches at a 0/90 lead angle, making it well-suited for full-shoulder profiling and stepped-surface work. Through-coolant capability supports chip evacuation and tool life during extended cuts. The cutter features a right-hand cutting direction and a positive axial, negative radial rake geometry. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments are the primary users.

This face mill is part of the Power Turbo series from SECO, a line engineered for close-pitch, high-feed square-shoulder applications. With five flutes and a close pitch configuration, it is suited to both horizontal and vertical machining centers running steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. The 3-degree maximum ramping angle allows for ramp entry into pockets and cavities where a direct plunge is not practical. It is commonly installed on machining centers using standard arbor-style toolholding setups.

Key Features

• Five-insert, close-pitch design for high material removal rates
• 0/90 lead angle for true square-shoulder milling
• Through-coolant support for improved chip control and insert longevity
• Positive axial and negative radial rake for balanced cutting forces
• Maximum 3-degree ramping angle enables pocket entry without a dedicated plunge operation

Compatibility

Accepts XO X1806-style indexable inserts. Designed for use with standard 3/4-inch arbor toolholding systems on horizontal and vertical machining centers as part of the SECO Power Turbo series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before mounting or removing the cutter body. Torque insert clamp screws according to the insert manufacturer specifications printed on the tool or included documentation. Verify arbor runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run.
