Manufactured from fine-grain solid carbide and coated with a dual-layer TiAlN and TiN physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability under demanding cutting conditions. It features a positive rake angle of 5 degrees, an 11-degree relief angle, and a honed cutting edge for clean chip formation. With 2 cutting edges and a right-hand orientation, it is suited for productive material removal in steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium applications. Licensed machinists and CNC milling specialists are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in indexable ball nose end mill applications across aerospace, general machining, and die-and-mold work. It handles primary workpiece materials including steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium (ISO material codes P, K, S), with secondary suitability for cast iron and non-ferrous metals (ISO codes K, N). The ME04 chip breaker geometry supports versatile depth-of-cut profiles, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.5510 inches. It is screw-held and fits within the R218.20 and R218.24 cutter series as noted below under compatibility. The insert is ISO-compliant and carries ANSI code 218.20-080ER-ME04.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with fine-grain material grade for edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual PVD coating: TiAlN and TiN for heat resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall nose insert shape with 0.3150-inch corner radius for contour milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive 5-degree rake angle and honed cutting edge for clean chip formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eME04 chip breaker for effective chip control across multiple workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, single-sided insert with screw holding method for secure clamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with the following cutter series as specified by the manufacturer: R218.20-16, R218.20-0.625, and R218.24-R080.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the tool body specification; do not over-torque. Verify insert seating and clamping before resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 218.20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: F40M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fine Grain Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN and TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 5 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: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3150 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2709 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1264 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2709 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6157 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1142 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5510 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: ME04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double Sided\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 218.20-080ER-ME04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 218.20-080ER-ME04\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 00030428\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562652827954,"sku":"00030428","price":587.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c487bf25ca6a7921309de9a08e6935e3.jpg?v=1786481640","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00030428-ball-nose-milling-insert-f40m-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
