Seco 00035401 Milling Insert VPGX220631EN-E10 H25 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00035401 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying ANSI and ISO designation VPGX220631EN-E10, manufactured to grade H25 in a micrograin carbide substrate. The insert features a diamond shape with a 35-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry at 25 degrees, and a neutral hand orientation. The cutting edge is honed and paired with an E10 chip breaker for controlled chip formation. At 0.25 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, it is designed for light-to-moderate milling passes. It is screw-held and single-sided, offering two cutting edges per insert. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10.

This insert is suited for milling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper alloys, as well as superalloys and titanium. The uncoated, bright finish and positive rake angle reduce built-up edge and cutting forces on these materials. The E10 chip breaker geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in applications where material adhesion and work hardening are concerns. Compatible cutter series include R217.97-V22 and R220.97-V22. Typical install scenarios include face milling, shoulder milling, and profile milling operations on CNC machining centers in both job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• VPGX diamond-shape geometry with 35-degree included angle for strong edge support
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate in H25 grade for non-ferrous and superalloy applications
• Positive 25-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and minimizes heat generation
• E10 chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation
• Honed cutting edge finish for consistent performance on ductile and abrasive materials
• Two cutting edges per insert; screw-held, single-sided configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use with SECO cutter series R217.97-V22 and R220.97-V22. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal; secondary workpiece material is superalloys and titanium. ANSI and ISO code: VPGX220631EN-E10.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a vise or holding fixture before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to drive the clamping screw to the tool body manufacturer's specified torque range as listed in the cutter body documentation. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
