Seco 00014998 Milling Insert XOMX180631R-M10 F40M Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00014998 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation XOMX180631R-M10 with a manufacturer grade of F40M. It is a right-hand, single-sided parallelogram-shaped insert with a 90-degree included angle, designed for indexable milling operations in metalworking applications. The insert features a PVD-applied TiAlN plus TiN dual-layer coating over a fine-grain solid carbide substrate, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted and continuous cuts. With 2 cutting edges, a 0.669-inch effective cutting edge length, and a positive rake geometry, it is suited for productive material removal in milling toolholders used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This insert is intended for use in milling operations across a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It fits the SECO cutter series R217.69-18 and R220.69-18. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose metal removal on CNC machining centers and manual mills in both job shop and production environments. The M10 chip breaker geometry is optimized for medium-duty cutting passes where chip control and edge stability are both priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool-crib personnel using the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the insert screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Always power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket for debris, damage, or wear before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the cutter body maximum depth of cut rating for the specific holder in use.
