It features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a positive rake angle of 25 degrees, and a sharp cutting edge style suited for aggressive chip evacuation in non-ferrous metal applications. The insert is uncoated micrograin carbide in manufacturer grade H15, offering a 0.375-inch inscribed circle, a thickness of 0.1874 inches, and two cutting edges. It is held in the cutter body by a screw and is designed for right-hand cutting. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians are the primary installers of this insert type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for milling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper alloys, and similar materials where a sharp, uncoated carbide edge delivers clean surface finish and reduced built-up edge. The E08 chip breaker geometry supports efficient chip flow at the depths of cut and feed rates typical for high-speed face and shoulder milling operations. It fits cutter bodies in the R217.69-16 and R220.69-16 series. The positive rake and sharp edge make it well suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes on non-ferrous workpieces in both production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide micrograin construction in H15 grade for non-ferrous metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated bright finish eliminates built-up edge risk on aluminum and copper alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive 25-degree rake angle with sharp cutting edge for reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eE08 chip breaker geometry supports effective chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert for extended tooling economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-clamp insert holding for secure, repeatable seating in compatible cutter bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with SECO cutter series R217.69-16 and R220.69-16.

Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the cutter body specification — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the insert pocket and screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Always verify insert orientation and hand designation match the cutter body before resuming operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallelogram\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 85 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: H15\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated (Bright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160408\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX160408FR-E08\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sharp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: E08\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSided\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1874 inches (3\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Effective Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6476 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.622 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1772 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0315 inches (1\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: N\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Series Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: R217.69-16, R220.69-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00023612\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560702509362,"sku":"00023612","price":424.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a034620df0adeb18714e8da175bb0efd.jpg?v=1786455963","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00023612-milling-insert-apex160408fr-e08-h15-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
