Seco 02694985 Square-shoulder Face Mill 3 Inch Power Turbo

Product Description

The SECO 02694985 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking applications. Built to the Power Turbo series specification, this cutter features a 3-inch maximum cutting diameter and accepts 6 inserts in the XO X1806 style secured by clamp and screw. The arbor hole diameter is 1 inch, and the maximum depth of cut is 0.669 inches. Overall height is 1.969 inches. Coolant-through design supports effective chip evacuation and thermal control at the cutting zone. Right-hand cutting direction with a 0/90 lead angle and a combination of positive axial and negative radial rake geometry makes this tool well-suited for demanding square-shoulder milling work.

This face mill is used in CNC machining centers for square-shoulder milling, slotting, ramping, and helical interpolation. The medium pitch configuration and maximum ramping angle of 1.50 degrees support a range of toolpath strategies on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in job shop and production environments where controlled chip load and consistent wall geometry are required.

Compatibility

Designed for use with XO X1806 series inserts in the R220.69 cutter style. Arbor-mount configuration with a 1-inch arbor hole diameter. Consult the SECO Power Turbo series insert selection guide to confirm insert grade and geometry for the specific workpiece material.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for arbor-mount face mills. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter body. Verify that insert seats are clean and free of debris before seating inserts, and confirm clamp torque per the SECO tooling system documentation supplied with the cutter. Inspect through-coolant ports for obstruction before operation.
