Lower cost per edge for higher profitability

Keep pace with customer demands for reductions in part prices. With eight cutting edges, the doublesided helix inserts of the Seco Helical SN8-13 cutter deliver significantly lower costs per edge and boost rough milling efficiency. Built for difficult applications that involve parts with hard skins and material irregularities, the cutters offer three optimized geometries, long tool life and maximum chip evacuation to mill ISO P, M, K and S materials.

Your challenge:
Customers continue to demand price reductions, forcing shops to economize production operations while they maintain part quality and profit margins.

The Seco solution:
The Seco Helical SN8-13 features double-sided helix inserts with eight edges for a lower cost per edge that reduces production costs.

SN8-13 in action

Minimize the risk of insert indexing mishaps

People make mistakes. Make sure they don’t when it comes to indexing inserts. The reliable and userfriendly design of the Helical SN8-13 cutter ensures the tool is robust and simple to use, while making it virtually impossible to mix the front and helix inserts. As a result, you gain process security to reduce the risk of scrapped parts and eliminate machine downtime that adds to production costs.

Your challenge:
Less-skilled workers make mistakes that often lead to machine downtime, quality issues and scrap – making it difficult to reduce production costs.

The Seco solution:
The design of the Seco Helical SN8-13 provides foolproof indexing of front and helix inserts to eliminate the risk of human error.

SN8-13 range

Easily adapt to tough milling conditions

Don’t let challenges like demanding production environments, long reach and weak fixture situations, difficult part materials or low machine power hold you back. The Seco Helical SN8-13 cutter optimizes helical slotting and side milling, as well as circular interpolation rough milling operations. Easily overcome those tough situations with applicationspecific sub-family designs that offer left or righthand helixes, half and full effective teeth options, two front insert and many radii choices.

Your challenge:
High productivity, long reach, weak fixtures, difficult material and low machine power situations hinder rough milling operations.

The Seco solution:
Optimized for various applications, the sub-families within the Seco Helical SN8-13 cutter system offer various helix hands, teeth designs, front insert and many radii options.
