It features a 55-degree diamond shape, a sharp cutting edge, and a positive rake geometry that reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip formation. The KX grade designation identifies this as an uncoated bright-finish carbide insert optimized for aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. With a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1\/32-inch corner radius, it suits light to moderate depth-of-cut applications in production turning and finishing operations. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators on lathes and turning centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for use in facing, turning, boring, and back-turning operations on non-ferrous materials including aluminum alloys. The AL chip breaker geometry is engineered specifically for the lower cutting resistance and higher cutting speeds typical of non-ferrous machining. It fits DCGT-style toolholders with a screw-clamp holding method. The neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to a range of setups. Material grades N15, N20, and N25 cover a wide range of non-ferrous applications from finish to semi-finish cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55-degree diamond insert shape with sharp cutting edge for reduced cutting forces on non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAL chip breaker geometry optimized for aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated bright-finish solid carbide construction — no coating buildup on edge for critical tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake geometry reduces heat generation and promotes chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-clamp holding method provides secure, repeatable insert positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert; neutral hand orientation for flexible setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in DCGT-series screw-clamp toolholders.

Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to toolholder specification; do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide body. Verify insert seating and edge orientation before resuming cutting operations. Consult toolholder manufacturer documentation for recommended clamping torque values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCGT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCGT-AL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: N15, N20, N25\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated (Bright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sharp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: AL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inches (0.0315 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches (0.1563 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9134 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1732 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4252 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: D\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 Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiper Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Use Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Back Turning, Boring, Facing, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCGT11T308F-AL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCGT32.52F-AL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 00040400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564206555442,"sku":"00040400","price":276.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0beb04c356b95908e1e862ab8de41798.jpg?v=1786514204","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00040400-turning-insert-dcgt32-52f-al-kx-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
