Seco 00035402 Milling Insert VPGX220631FN-E06 H15 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00035402 is a solid carbide milling insert in the VPGX series, designed for high-performance metal removal in milling applications. Carrying the ANSI and ISO code VPGX220631FN-E06 and manufacturer grade H15, this insert features a diamond shape with a 35-degree included angle, a positive rake angle of 25 degrees, and a sharp cutting edge style. The micrograin solid carbide substrate and bright uncoated finish make it well suited for non-ferrous metal cutting where coatings can cause built-up edge. It is a single-sided, neutral-hand insert held in place by a screw. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers.

This insert is intended for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials, including aluminum, copper alloys, and similar materials where sharp, uncoated carbide is preferred. The E06 chip breaker geometry supports positive-rake cutting action. Compatible cutter series listed by the manufacturer are R217.97-V22 and R220.97-V22. The insert delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.5591 inches and a cutting edge effective length of 0.5591 inches, making it appropriate for moderate to full-depth passes in non-ferrous milling operations on CNC machining centers.

Compatibility

Compatible with cutter series R217.97-V22 and R220.97-V22 as specified by the manufacturer. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for VPGX-22 series milling toolholders accepting VPGX220631FN-E06 inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces before tightening the retention screw to avoid micro-movement during cutting. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before seating a new insert.
