Seco 00015790 CCGT432F-ALKX Carbide Turning Insert 80 Diamond

Product Description

The SECO 00015790 is a solid carbide, uncoated turning insert in the CCGT-AL series, designed for high-performance machining of non-ferrous metals. Identified by the industry standard designation CCGT432F-AL and ISO code CCGT120408F-AL, it features an 80-degree diamond insert shape, a 1/2-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch (0.0315 inch) corner radius. The sharp cutting edge and positive rake geometry make this insert well-suited for light, precise cuts on aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom operators working with CNC lathes and boring setups will find the KX grade appropriate for the demands of non-ferrous finishing and semi-finishing passes.

This insert is applied in turning, facing, and boring operations on non-ferrous metal components. The chip breaker designation AL is engineered specifically for aluminum alloys and similar soft, ductile materials, where built-up edge and chip control are primary concerns. The neutral hand orientation provides flexibility across left- and right-hand toolholder setups. It is suitable for both light production runs and high-precision finishing operations on CNC and manual turning equipment in manufacturing and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, uncoated (bright finish) for non-ferrous and aluminum machining
• 80-degree diamond insert shape with positive rake and sharp cutting edge for reduced cutting forces
• 1/2-inch inscribed circle and 0.1874-inch insert thickness for stable toolholder engagement
• AL chip breaker geometry optimized for aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.4764 inches and insert length of 0.5079 inches
• Multi-use capability: boring, facing, and turning in a single insert style
• Screw-holding method with 0.2165-inch hole diameter for secure, repeatable indexing

Compatibility

Designed for use with CCGT-style screw-on toolholders that accept a 1/2-inch inscribed circle, 80-degree diamond (insert shape code C), Grade G tolerance insert with clearance code C. Compatible with material grades N15, N20, and N25 for non-ferrous metal applications. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards as referenced in the input data.

Installation Notes

Installation of this turning insert should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the toolholder manufacturer's specified seating and clamping procedure. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key for the screw-clamp system to secure the insert without over-torquing the mounting screw. Inspect the insert pocket and locating surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
