Seco 00009225 Solid Carbide Turning Insert Tpmm 432-46

Product Description

The SECO 00009225 is a solid carbide, uncoated turning insert in the TPMM style, designed for precision material removal on difficult-to-machine workpieces including superalloys and titanium. It features a triangular insert shape with a 60-degree included angle, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, and a 3/16-inch thickness. The insert carries a 1/32-inch corner radius with a honed cutting edge style and a positive rake geometry. Grade 883 solid carbide without coating makes this insert well-suited for applications where coating adhesion or contamination is a concern. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists install and index this insert in TPMM-compatible toolholders.

The 00009225 is rated for back turning, boring, facing, and turning operations. Its primary workpiece material designation is superalloys and titanium (material code S), with secondary suitability for steel, cast iron, non-ferrous materials, and hardened materials (material codes M, K, N, H). The TPMM-46 series chip breaker geometry helps manage chip flow across this broad range of cut types. This insert is intended for professional CNC turning centers and manual lathes equipped with compatible TPMM-style clamp, pin, or lever-lock toolholding systems.

Compatibility

Designed for use in TPMM-style toolholders that accept a 0.5-inch inscribed circle triangular insert. Compatible holding methods include clamp, pin, and lever lock. Industry standard number TPMM432-46; ISO code TPMM220408-46. Suitable for CNC turning centers and manual lathes configured for TPMM insert geometry.

Installation Notes

Insert indexing and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine fully stopped and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate insert-seating tool or torx key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing clamp or lever-lock style holders. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for the insert and toolholder combination in use.
