Seco 00015754 Turning Insert CCGT32.52F-ALKX Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00015754 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision finishing and light machining of aluminum and non-ferrous metals. It carries the ANSI insert code CCGT32.52 and ISO code CCGT09T308, and belongs to the CCGT-AL series. The insert features an 80-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a positive rake geometry, and a sharp cutting edge style that keeps cutting forces low in non-ferrous applications. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, a 1/32-inch corner radius, and a 7-degree relief angle, this insert is built for high wear-resistance while maintaining toughness across a range of light stock removal operations. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 10 pieces per order.

This insert is intended for use on CNC lathes and turning centers running aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. It is suited for boring, facing, and turning operations where a sharp, uncoated edge is preferred to avoid built-up edge on soft materials. The chip breaker designation AL is optimized specifically for light chip formation in these material groups. Machinists and CNC operators working in production shops, job shops, or maintenance turning applications will find this insert appropriate for finishing passes and light roughing cuts in non-ferrous material grades N15, N20, and N25.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, uncoated (bright finish) for optimal performance on aluminum and non-ferrous metals
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with positive rake and positive side clearance for reduced cutting forces
• AL chip breaker geometry engineered for finishing and light machining chip control
• Sharp cutting edge style minimizes built-up edge on soft non-ferrous workpieces
• Two cutting edges per insert; neutral hand orientation; screw-type insert holding method
• Compliant with both ANSI and ISO insert standards; multi-use for boring, facing, and turning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for tool holders accepting CCGT32.52 (ANSI) or CCGT09T308 (ISO) geometry inserts with screw-type clamping. Suitable for material grades N15, N20, and N25 non-ferrous applications as defined by ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tool crib technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and the turret is fully indexed and locked before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key for the insert clamping screw and verify the insert seats fully and evenly in the pocket before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris prior to seating to avoid micro-fracture of the cutting edge on first engagement.
