Seco 02823298 External Lh Indexable Grooving Toolholder

Product Description

The SECO 02823298 is an external left hand indexable grooving toolholder designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the SECO X4 Jet series, this toolholder accepts X4GK25..L inserts and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.256 inches with a groove width range of 0.031 inches to 0.118 inches. The 1 inch by 1 inch shank and 6 inch overall length suit a wide range of turret configurations. Through-coolant capability directs cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone, supporting tool life and chip evacuation in demanding grooving applications. Steel construction provides rigidity for consistent dimensional accuracy.

This toolholder is suited for external non-face grooving on ferrous workpieces, with a primary workpiece material designation of cast iron (K). The left hand cutting direction makes it appropriate for applications where part geometry or machine configuration requires a left hand approach. Typical installations involve a licensed or experienced machinist setting up a CNC turning center or lathe with a standard square shank turret. The through-coolant feature supports higher feed rates and extended insert life in production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with CNC turning center tooling setup. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the toolholder from the turret. Confirm insert seating and clamp engagement before returning the machine to operation. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for turret torque and tool overhang limits.
