Code keys tools Milling cutters In milling Seco uses product specic designation systems, there is no ISO system available for cutters. See example below. Code key for Turbo milling cutter 217/220.69 217 = With shank 220 = For arbor Right hand rotation Shank diameter Cutter system Shank type Cutter diameter Insert size A = With through coolant supply AD=Anti vibration material with ’through’ coolant supply G = Coarse pitch version for low power machines T = Close pitch version for contouring operations C = With adjustable cassettes N = Coated

Shanks Type 0 – Cylindrical Type 3 – Weldon Tool chucks acc. to ISO 5414 DIN 1835 Ex.: R217.69-2525.0-12-3AN Type 3S – Seco/Weldon® Tool chucks acc. to ISO 5414 DIN 1835

Insert clamping system Clamping by S - screw The inserts are clamped by an inclined screw which holds the insert in position in its seat. Centre lock clamping The inserts are secured through a centre hole by means of a screw which clamps the insert rmly against the bottom and side of its seat. Minimaster clamping The insert is clamped in position by means of a nger-shaped clamping screw which draws the insert into a cone Square T4 The inserts are secured through a centre hole by means of a screw which clamps the insert rmly against the bottom and side of its seat. The inserts are held in position...

Insert geometries Designation system The Seco designation system for milling inserts has been developed to provide the user with better guidance concerning the elds of application for the various insert geometries Difcult machining conditions, strong insert cutting edge. Easy machining conditions, sharp insert cutting edge. Examples of different insert geometries for a specic insert type Negative and very protected cutting edge Negative and protected cutting edge Positive and protected cutting edge Very positive and protected cutting edge Positive and sharp cutting edge Very positive and very...

Insert grades Cemented carbide is an alloy of tungsten carbide (WC) and cobalt (Co). Cubic carbides like tantalum carbide (TaC), titanium carbide (TiC) and niobium carbide (NbC) can also be added. Tungsten carbide is the main component and gives the hardness. Cobalt is the binder phase and gives the toughness. Cubic carbides are added in order to affect properties like hot hardness, deformation resistance and chemical wear resistance. Most modern grades are coated with either CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) or PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technique. The coating improves the wear resistance...

Insert grades Basic grades F40M PVD-coated grade for ne to medium rough milling. First choice for milling with small feeds and/or low cutting speeds. Excellent for milling when there is a risk of vibrations and when coolant is used. Recommended for machining superalloys. (Ti, Al) N – TiN CVD-coated grade based on Duratomic™ coating. Basic grade for milling steel and easy/medium difcult stainless steel, with or without coolant. Ti (C, N) – Al2O3 CVD-coated grade based on Duratomic™ coating. Basic grade for milling cast iron and nodular cast iron, with or without coolant. Ti (C, N) – Al2O3 PVD-coated...

Insert grades Uncoated grades HX Wear resistant grade for milling in cast iron and non-ferrous alloys. Hard, wear resistant grade for milling in aluminium. Tough micro-grain carbide grade for milling in superalloys and aluminium. Cermet grade for ne to medium rough milling of steel at high cutting speeds and for nishing in austenitic stainless steel. First choice for high demand on surface nishes.
