Product Description
The SECO 02578583 is a double-end, neutral-cutting indexable cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to Series 150.10A specifications, the blade measures 0.843 inches high, 0.134 inches wide, and 4.72 inches in overall length, with a minimum insert width of 0.161 inches. The self-grip insert holding method secures the insert without additional clamping hardware, reducing setup time and maintaining consistent cutting geometry. This blade is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production or job-shop turning environments.
The 02578583 is rated for parting applications on workpieces up to 4.0 inches in diameter. Its double-end design allows the blade to be flipped and reused once one end reaches wear limits, extending service life. The neutral cutting direction makes it compatible with both left-hand and right-hand setups. It mounts in a 150.10-20 series tool block and accepts inserts from the 150.10-4 series, making it a direct fit for shops already running SECO 150.10 tooling systems. Compliance with ISO standards ensures insert interchangeability within the specified series.
