Seco 74072236 Anvil Indexable Toolholder 0.5 in Size 4

Product Description

The SECO 74072236 is a replacement anvil designed for use with indexable toolholder assemblies. Anvils seat beneath the cutting insert in the toolholder pocket, providing a hardened support surface that absorbs cutting forces and protects the toolholder body from damage during machining operations. This anvil is sized for a 0.5-inch insert inscribed circle and carries a toolholder insert size code of 4. It is a precision component installed by machinists and tool-crib technicians in CNC turning, boring, and milling setups where indexable insert tooling is in use.

This anvil is suited for production and job-shop environments running indexable insert tooling on CNC lathes, machining centers, or manual turning equipment. It is used when the existing anvil shows wear, chipping, or deformation from interrupted cuts or heavy stock removal. Replacing worn anvils before installing fresh inserts helps maintain insert seating accuracy and reduces premature insert failure. The anvil screw compatibility designation is S-46, which should be matched against the toolholder assembly before ordering.

Key Features

• Sized for 0.5-inch insert inscribed circle for precise insert pocket fit
• Toolholder insert size code 4 for straightforward cross-referencing to compatible toolholders
• Anvil screw compatibility designation S-46 for secure seating within the pocket
• Industry standard number 19250 for reference against tooling catalogs and procurement systems
• Sold individually, minimum order quantity of 10 units supports tool-crib stocking

Compatibility

Designed for indexable toolholder assemblies requiring a size 4 insert pocket anvil with a 0.5-inch insert inscribed circle and S-46 anvil screw compatibility. Verify toolholder pocket specifications and screw designation against your existing assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Anvil replacement is performed by machinists or tool-crib personnel with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. The existing anvil screw should be removed using the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer before lifting out the worn anvil. Seat the new anvil flat in the pocket and confirm it lies flush before reinstalling the screw and insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's recommended clamping procedure for the insert after the anvil is secured.
