Seco 74016514 Carbide Cutoff Insert 0.122 in Series 150.10

Product Description

The SECO 74016514 is a single-end carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a 0.122-inch cutting width with a neutral lead angle and a 0-degree lead angle, making it suitable for straight plunge cutting with no directional bias. The HX manufacturer grade uncoated carbide construction falls under material grade C2, offering consistent performance on a broad range of workpiece materials. A 6-degree relief angle and a 0.008-inch corner radius complete the cutting geometry. Installation is by clamp-style insert holding, which is standard for the Series 150.10 toolholder family.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, meaning it performs across common metals encountered in general machining environments including steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The Series 150.10 designation identifies the toolholder interface required for proper seating. Typical applications include cutoff work on production lathes in job shops and manufacturing facilities where consistent part separation and groove width accuracy are priorities. The uncoated bright finish is well suited to applications where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a concern, and where sharp edge retention is preferred over coated alternatives.

Key Features

• 0.122-inch cutting width with a width tolerance of 0.003 inches for predictable groove sizing
• Neutral lead angle and neutral hand for straight plunge cutoff operations
• Uncoated carbide (HX grade, material grade C2) for sharp edge retention on universal workpiece materials
• 6-degree relief angle reduces rubbing and tool pressure during cutoff
• 0.008-inch corner radius for controlled chip formation at part separation
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure seating in Series 150.10 toolholders
• Single-end insert design; chipbreaker designation 16

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 150.10 clamp-style cutoff toolholders. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 pieces per order in multiples of 10.

Installation Notes

Installation of cutting inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered off, spindle locked, and all guards in place. Seat the insert fully into the clamp pocket of the Series 150.10 holder before tightening the clamping screw to manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper contact and avoid premature edge failure. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's torque and handling guidelines for clamp-style inserts.
