Seco 00023607 Trigon Milling Insert F40M Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00023607 is a solid carbide trigon milling insert designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling operations. Carrying the ANSI and ISO designation 218.19-200T-05-M10, it is manufactured in grade F40M from fine-grain solid carbide and coated with a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN multilayer coating for extended wear resistance. The insert features a positive rake angle of 10 degrees, a T-Land cutting edge style, and three usable cutting edges, making it a practical choice for production milling environments. At 0.2165 inches thick with a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, it seats in screw-held pockets and handles a maximum depth of cut of 0.787 inches.

This insert is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is compatible with the SECO R218.19-40 cutter series and is appropriate for both roughing and semi-finishing passes where chip control is critical. The M10 chip breaker geometry is optimized for steel and general-purpose applications across a range of cutting conditions. Typical users include CNC machinists and tool room technicians running face mills on machining centers in production or job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide fine-grain substrate in manufacturer grade F40M for thermal and wear resistance
• PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual-layer coating for extended tool life in steel and cast iron
• Trigon shape with 60-degree included angle and three cutting edges per insert
• Positive rake geometry with T-Land edge prep for controlled chip formation
• M10 chip breaker optimized for steel, stainless steel, and mixed-material applications
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible mounting in compatible cutter bodies

Compatibility

Compatible with the SECO R218.19-40 cutter series. Insert size code 200T-05 fits screw-clamped pockets accepting a 0.5 inch inscribed circle trigon insert per ANSI and ISO standard 218.19-200T-05-M10.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle powered down and the machine locked out per applicable safety procedures. Seat the insert fully in the pocket before tightening the clamping screw, and verify seating against all locating surfaces. Inspect the pocket for chips or debris before each insert change to prevent micro-fractures from improper seating. Consult the cutter body manufacturer documentation for correct torque specifications and screw type.
