Seco 00030826 Milling Tip 0.500 in Carbide 3 Flute MM12 F40M

Product Description

The SECO 00030826 is a carbide end replaceable milling tip in the MM12 Minimaster series, designed for use in indexable milling tool systems. It carries a manufacturer grade of F40M with a TiAlN and TiN PVD coating applied over a carbide substrate. The tip features 3 flutes, a 90-degree lead angle, a 30-degree helix angle, and a 0.2500-inch corner radius. Maximum depth of cut is 0.6020 inches (15.3 mm), and the functional length is 0.7780 inches (19.75 mm). Right-hand cutting orientation and M04 chipbreaker geometry round out the core configuration. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling specialists install this tip in production and job-shop environments.

This milling tip is suited for applications across a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, N, S, and H. It is appropriate for use in both roughing and finishing operations where consistent chip control and tool life are required. The coolant-through design supports high-feed and high-temperature cutting strategies. Material grade coverage spans P10 through P50, N10 through N20, M10 through M40, and S10 through S20, making it a versatile choice across production turning and milling centers.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate with TiAlN and TiN PVD coating for extended tool life across diverse workpiece materials
• 3-flute geometry with M04 chipbreaker for effective chip evacuation in steel and stainless applications
• 90-degree lead angle and 30-degree helix angle for stable radial engagement
• 0.2500-inch corner radius reduces cutting-edge stress during profiling passes
• Coolant-through capability supports elevated cutting speeds and thermal management
• Right-hand cut orientation; conforms to ANSI standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for MM12 Minimaster series milling tool holders. Insert size designation is 0.500-B90A30. Refer to the MM12 series holder documentation to confirm shank and retention compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by CNC machinists and tooling technicians. Disengage machine power and confirm spindle lock before seating or removing the milling tip. Use the appropriate Minimaster torque key per the holder manufacturer instructions — do not use impact tools. Verify tip seating and runout with a dial indicator before resuming cutting operations.
