Seco 00023726 Milling Tip 0.472 in MM12 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00023726 is a carbide end replaceable milling tip designed for slotting operations in the MM12 Minimaster series. It features three flutes with a 30-degree helix angle, a 0.472-inch cutting diameter, and a maximum depth of cut of 0.604 inches. The tip is manufactured to ANSI standards and finished with a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating that extends edge life across a wide range of workpiece materials. Coolant-through capability is built in, supporting high-efficiency metal removal. This insert is intended for use by machinists and CNC tooling specialists working in production and job-shop environments.

The 00023726 is suited for slotting applications on steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It carries ISO material codes P, M, N, S, and H, covering material grades P10 through P50, M10 through M40, N10 through N20, and S10 through S20. The 90-degree lead angle and M04 chipbreaker geometry make it a practical choice for full-width slotting passes where chip control and consistent depth are critical. The insert size designation is 0.472-R040A30 and the manufacturer full description is MM12-0.472-R040A30-M04.

Compatibility

Designed for use with MM12 Minimaster series toolholders that accept the 0.472-R040A30 insert size. Verify holder compatibility against the MM12 series specification before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing milling tips. Use the correct torque wrench and seating tool recommended for Minimaster series inserts to avoid over-torquing the clamping screw. Confirm coolant-through passages are clear and properly aligned before resuming cutting operations.
