Seco Tools .38 Finishing Face Mill system features a selection of cutters engineered for high-precision surface finishing. Designed for simplicity and hybrid flexibility, this system is designed to meet the full spectrum of finishing needs.

The .38 Finishing Face Mill / SNFX1204 system offers three cutter variants — fixed pocket, hybrid and adjustable — each tailored to different levels of control and performance.

The system offers two insert types to meet different demands — one with an 88-degree lead angle for near-wall machining and another with a 27-degree lead angle for high-feed, open-surface work.

The Fixed Pocket Cutter (R220.38-….-SN-..SA) is well suited for users seeking flexible handling and setup-free operations. Its tilted screw design provides optimal insert self-centering and excellent runout accuracy (4-15 μm), making it a cost-efficient solution that reduces operator error and training needs. 

The Hybrid Cutter (R220.38-….-SN-..CSA) combines fixed and adjustable cassette pockets, enabling it to function as a fixed pocket tool by default. The cassette inserts act like dedicated wiper inserts for enhanced surface finish and, while adjustment is possible, it’s not required — offering flexibility without added complexity.

The Adjustable Cutter (R220.38-….-SN-..HSA) provides optimal control, with fine-tuning capabilities that achieve run-out as low as 0-2 μm — well suited for demanding applications where surface perfection is non-negotiable.
