Seco X4 grooving and parting-off system stabilises small parts machining
Fagersta, July 2014 – Perfect for small-part manufacturers, the Seco X4 multi-edge system
meets the industry’s demand for grooving and parting-off tools with narrow cutting edges. Most
recently, the company added smaller shanks to the short-reach system so that it can
accommodate an even broader range of machining applications such as Swiss parts.
The X4 consists of indexable tangential inserts with three-dimensional chipbreakers and a highly stable
clamp design. These strong, dependable system components achieve high accuracy, repeatability,
productivity and surface quality in external grooving and parting-off operations involving small parts,
slim bars and tubes made from a wide variety of common materials.
The system’s MC chipbreaker inserts cover cutting-edge widths from 0.5 mm to 3 mm and cutting
depths between 2.6 mm and 6.5 mm. Maximum bar diameter for cut off varies from 5.2 mm to 13 mm in
diameter, depending on insert width. Insert profiles are available in neutral and angled right-handed and
left-handed versions.

Flat profiles, designated R and FG, with positive rakes are also available. Featuring a round profile, the
R-style inserts for grooving and profiling have cutting edges with widths that range from 1 mm to 3 mm.
