Seco 03080518 Indexable Insert Drill 1 in 3xd Perfomax

Product Description

The SECO 03080518 is an indexable insert drill from the PerfoMAX series, designed for general-purpose drilling operations in metal and industrial materials. It accepts two indexable inserts and produces a 1-inch diameter hole to a maximum drill depth of 3 inches, corresponding to a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks and toolholders. Built from steel with through-coolant capability, this drill body is suited for production environments where heat management and tool life matter. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tooling.

The 03080518 is applied in general-purpose drilling on machining centers and CNC lathes where consistent hole quality at 1-inch diameter is required. The PerfoMAX series is engineered for right-hand cutting and supports compatible insert styles SCGX and SPGX in size codes 0703 and 070308. With a modular connection size of R7 and a neck diameter of 1.654 inches, this drill body integrates into standard PerfoMAX tooling setups. It is suited for both roughing and production drilling cycles in steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and insert changes should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Ensure the shank is properly secured in the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth before operation. Verify coolant passages are clear before running through-coolant to prevent heat buildup and premature insert wear. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting tool offsets and running initial test cuts.
