Capable of handling a wide mix of materials, the High Feed SP07 from Alcester-based
Seco Tools (UK) Ltd ‘excels in all machining strategies and allows machinists to push productivity levels, particularly on complex components’.
Seco says: “A positive cutting rake angle ensures optimal chip formation, while the stable insert design and constant lead angle deliver predictable cutting behavior, a capability that is paramount for unmanned production.
“Furthermore, the SP07 addresses the common industry challenges of frequent tool changes, unpredictable results, and high costs due to rapid wear. In one reliable solution, the SP07 simplifies tool management and reduces the need for skilled labour, while digital traceability via Data Matrix codes further streamlines operations, making the SP07 ideal for high-volume and unmanned production.”
Significant cost reductions“Each insert features four cutting edges, maximising usage and extending tool life; and even with shallow depths of cut (≤0.8mm), the SP07 maintains high metal-removal rates, ensuring manufacturers stay on track with productivity goals. The result is a significant reduction in cost per part and improved operational efficiency.”
Benoît Patriarca, a Seco product manager, added: “Our customers need to boost productivity and cut costs. Seco’s High Feed SP07 delivers reliable, flexible performance across various materials. The four cutting edges and digital traceability simplify processes further, even when skilled labour is limited.”
