Manufactured to ANSI and ISO standards under series 218.20-160, this insert carries a manufacturer grade of F40M and a fine-grain carbide substrate with a PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating. It features a right-hand cutting orientation, a positive rake angle of 6 degrees, a relief angle of 15 degrees, and 2 cutting edges with a honed cutting edge style. The insert measures 0.500 inches in inscribed circle diameter, 0.252 inches thick, and 1.205 inches in length. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling specialists install this insert in compatible milling cutter bodies for precision contouring, profiling, and slotting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for both roughing and finishing passes on a range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The ME08 chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation across these material families. With a maximum depth of cut of 1.102 inches and a corner radius of 0.6299 inches, this insert handles demanding milling applications in job shop, aerospace, die and mold, and general machining environments. It is a screw-held, single-sided insert with an included angle of 90 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall nose insert shape for profiling, contouring, and 3D surface milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF40M fine-grain solid carbide grade with PVD TiAlN and TiN dual coating for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eME08 chip breaker geometry supports steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (6 degrees) and honed cutting edge reduce cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, single-sided design with screw holding method for secure cutter body engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 1.102 inches with a 0.6299-inch corner radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with SECO cutter series R218.20-32 and R218.20-01.25 per manufacturer specifications.
