manufacturing-news

Seco® introduces the Double Turbo 11 milling insert, an advanced indexable solution developed specifically for smaller machines and reduced depths of cut. Designed to boost productivity while lowering tooling expenses, the Double Turbo 11 enables manufacturers to deliver consistent surface quality across a wide range of materials and machining conditions.

Built for accuracy, reliability, and flexibility, the Double Turbo 11 expands Seco’s square shoulder milling portfolio for face, side, and slot milling operations. The insert features a double-sided design with four usable cutting edges, offering excellent value and longer service life. From steel and cast iron to demanding superalloys, the tool supports stable and dependable machining even in light-cutting applications.

Its refined cutting geometry allows smooth and precise milling on low-power machines, while the strengthened support face lowers stress on the center screw by 25 percent. This design improvement enhances tool stability and reduces the risk of insert failure. Practical details such as a center-locking screw and clearly marked cutting edges simplify insert indexing, helping operators reduce downtime and avoid setup errors.

 “The Double Turbo 11 was developed to deliver premium performance on smaller machines,” says Michael Davies, Product Manager, Square Shoulder Milling. “By combining durability with ease of use, we enable manufacturers to increase output while keeping costs under control.”
